The car was acting up, we thought it was overheating, because when the car cooled off it would start. On 7/04/2001 we were going down the road at 55 mph when it shut off. It would not start again. Took it to a mechanic.he said the fuel pump was bad. Replaced it. Took a trip to mass. Car died again. Told fuel relay was bad, replaced,08/10/2001. Coming home first time check engine light came on.took it to dealer.egr valve replaced about 08/21/2001. 09/25/2001 car dies take it to a mechanic, checks, fuel pump bad again. Very disturbing, I don't want dealers to work on it. Say I need an invoice# for work order before I can get fuel pump. Mechanic is friend Kia certified I trust him to fix the problem long term, not the dealer. If you weren't aware I moved to va.5 mnths ago.
