Question: Car will not start

Question

Visitor, 2.0L 4 Cylinder, Norco, CA, August 29, 2010, 20:05

When I filled up my car today at the gas pump I started to drive it and it just shut off without warning and it wouldn't start up again! Im believed to be a clogged fuel filter but it could also be that my fuel pump may need to be replaced? Just need to know a questimate on what the problem is so I know how much money im going to need.

It could be so many things an engine needs fuel, spark and mechanical integrity to start and run. Getting gas as probably a coincidence that the car does not now start. It could be a broken timing belt, a failed fuel pump, wiring loss of spark too many things could cause a no start condition. Kia as a car manufacturer put a lot of great technical information and work shop manuals on line for free for Kia owners. www.kiatechinfo.com
