I have put 2 starters on my car in the past 6 months as well as a new fuel pump. I have difficulty starting it. It also dies sometimes while driving. I have taken it to a KIA garage and they have put it on the computer and it doesn't show a code with a problem. The engine light is on as well. HELP!

My 91 accord has been giving me grief 4 months. Sure would appreciate any help - TX GREASEMONKEY, u have been on the mark b4, want to take a shot... Its my only transportation and has been down 4 a month....

When you say you have fuel, do you have normal fuel pressure at the injectors ? Because Honda cars are known for faulty fuel pump relays.
The relay stops powering the pump when it gets hot but will start back up when the relay cools off.

Will start but wont stay running

No the missing O2 sensors would not keep it from running. The missing exhaust pipes might not help matters. No exhaust system would cause a lack of back pressure.
I would want to know what base fuel pressure is with a gauge before and after cranking. Your thought about bad gas is legit, today's gasoline is only good for about 2 or 3 months before it starts gelling up.
Did you replace the inline filter the last time you put the new pump in ? And are you sure the pump is getting power after the key is released?

I have changed computer all sensors rebuilt throttle body , put in new fuel pump all new fuel lines and vacuum lines new alternator new starter and new fuel filter and when I plug up the alternator the...

odd,usually if a dodge starts then stalls the ballast resistor is bad,just put a jumper wire across the 2 terminals(white cermic block on the firewall,2 wires) if it runs then replace the ballast only other thought is,have an ammeter? check the back of the gauge,sometimes they burn up and kill the whole system.
Don't quite understand why unplugging the Alt. would matter but check these 2 things anyway.

How to install a new fuel pump in my 1998 Honda Passport? How to test if it's the fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator or the fuel sending unit that's causing the problem. Problem: When I start my truck, it...

the gas gauge contacts get corroded by the chemicals in your gasoline over time, the only way to fix that is to replace the fuel sender unit...unfortunately the sender unit is usually incorporated into the fuel pump. fuel delivery problems like you describe could be clogged or dirty fuel injectors...if it's dying out on you as you drive it probably is indeed the fuel pump...usually an expensive fix. try an auto wrecker to find one for about 100 bucks.

1995 AUDI 90 CS - Hard to start... spark & fuel OK

Have you tried replacing the starter? I know starters can go bad if the car is not started or run for a long time.

I am getting the same car, with the same issue.. it sat for 2 yrs and won't start.

My mechanic told me it is probably a starter.

It is one of 2 things fuel pump or Crank Shaft Position Sensor. Best bet would be the Crank Shaft Sensor, and what that does is tell the computer where the crank is and when to fire the right plug at the right time
