I have a 1999 Kia sportage I purchased last year. Up until now it has been
good to me. It is not fast but with todays gas hike I am glad I have it.
It is the two wheel drive model about three weeks ago when I came back
from vacation my son told me it wouldn't start sometimes. Well before I
left for vacation a week it was runnung fine. So of course I balmed him
but now everytime I go to start it. It acts like it wants to start
sometimes and it doesn't. Now when I get in the car, I have to pump the
gas a few times and then it will start or after I am driving it will stall
out. Sometimes if I give it the gas real good it drives okay and I haven't
had it die on me when I'm on the highway but it will stall. Sometimes it
starts right away and runs fine. I thought it might be the feul filter, so
I bought one but haven't put it in yet. Can someone guide me through this.
The manual did not come with the car. Where does it go? Is this even the
problem? HELP ME?
