I believe your vehicle has a speed sensor as well
as that throttle position sensor. If you did replave
the throttle position sensor, did you make sure
you put the new one back in the exact way you
pulled the old one out? There may be a camshaft
sensor giving you a problem. There are several
sensors that may have something to do with that.

Just replace engine in 2005 kia spectra 2.0l and now it won't crank. do i need to reset the computer or what, if so how to do it?

If you just replaceD the engine in your 2005 Kia Spectra, was the replacement engine a good one? It sounds to me like it's a starter or starter solenoid issue! Try "hot-wiring" the starter solenoid, to see if the engine cranks. All security systems are "low level" in terms of current control. But a DIRECT connection from a good battery to the starter solenoid should engage it, which should complete the circuit from the battery to the starter motor.

Ck engine codes

Possible causes for P1505 & p1507
Faulty Idle Speed Control Actuator valve, harness is open or shorted, Idle Speed Control Actuator valve circuit poor electrical connection. No the codes are not related to the EGR. P0198 is related to the engine oil temperature sensor. By the way you should use a meter as supposed to a test light. The test light will not be able to measure 5 volts reference or voltage drops. However I would try replacing the affected parts based on the codes and the info you've provided. Good luck.

2005 kia spectra wont start. throwing codes 1505, 1507 and an emissions evap. short code. what is the possible fix?

P1505 - Idle-Speed Control Valve Closing Solenoid Control Circuit Electrical
P1507 - Idle-Speed Control Valve Opening Solenoid Control Circuit Signal Low

The knock sensor will cause the ignition timing to ******, which will cause a lack of power, however, it's important that the engine camshaft/crankshaft timing was set properly when rebuilding the engine, if this is off, the engine will have no power and you could set the knock sensor code.

Hope thats help.
