TPS ( throttle position sensor) could be out of adjustment or bad. If it was a timing issue it would run poorly or backfire

My 2004 Kia Rio stopped running on me today. I tried to restart it and it just clicked. I checked all fluids, they are fine, oil was fine, no water in it. My alternator pulley is very shiny, the water pump...

I had a similar problem. Check your Fuse's or where your fuel pump it may not be getting fuel. Or like mine did the computer or ecu went dead. Take it to a dealer to see if they can figure it out if not, and later on i seriously suggest to buy a new car, Kia Rio's ****, it will break down again.

My Kia Rio Cinco is having problems. Sometimes I hit the gas and the car barely moves so I put it in park and tap the gas and finally it moves. It has happened 2 times.
