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!

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.
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?
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.
So ,when you turn the key to start does the starter spin the engine ? a crank no start or nothing happens when you turn the key , no crank no start . 5 or 6 battery's in ten months ????? Sound's like you need to take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop.
DescriptionON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4.0L ENGINES, THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WIRING INSULATION MAY CRACK AND EXPOSE THE WIRE.
ConsequenceIN THE PRESENCE OF MOISTURE, THIS COULD RESULT IN SENSOR MALFUNCTION, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

It could be a lot of things. check these out 1. dirty fuel filter 2. fuel pump malfunctioning 3. fuel pump relay malfunctioning 4. bad spark plugs 5. ignition coil malfunctioning 6. dirty fuel line 7. bad gas Hope this help!
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.
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
