Some Kia Amanti owners report experiencing no-power issues after changing the plugs, wires, and coil, with the engine turning over but failing to start. These problems may stem from ignition issues, such as faulty spark plugs, coil packs, or plug wires, which can hinder the engine's ability to start. Additionally, inconsistent firing of the spark plugs due to wear or electrical problems may prevent proper engine startup. A malfunctioning ignition switch can also lead to stalling, failure to start, or a lack of power to the radio and accessories. To diagnose spark issues, some owners find it helpful to test for spark at the plug end of the wire using a spark tester. Furthermore, problems with the crankshaft position sensor can contribute to starting difficulties or stalling. It is advisable for owners to investigate the ignition system components and seek assistance from a qualified mechanic if the issue persists.
