Its easy to damage the crankshaft position sensor it is right at the crank pulley and is exposed when replacing the crankshaft oil seal (done as part of a timing belt change). Has the engine got spark and fuel? 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 . Does your mechanic have axcess to Alldata. The information is year make and model specific repair procedures, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect....
