01 kia optima stalled wont start. Just clicks when you turn the key. Starter clicks, then stops, sometimes I get a little buzz sound with the click...Possible starter, or fuel pump?

- Thanks, I just replaced the alternator a week ago, so I doubt its that, but I will re check to be sure it's charging properly Someone told me it could be the timing position sensor. That looks like a bit of a job though, and I cant afford the labor which is close to 300. so Im stuck trying to fix this thing myself. Any other ideas? My email is bluebandana19 at yahoo.

It seems the starter is playing up.First check if your battery is charged fully or try to jump start and see what happens.If the engine start then it's either you need a new battery or else you need a replacement alternator.Test using a voltmeter if the actual altenator is working.Finally the last option is the starter motor that needs changing or fixing...Hope this helps.

occasionally my 2004 Kia sorento will start but it will act like it is just barley catching when does start. is that a starter problem? then sometimes it will start and the engine will rev just a bit. I don't understand
