My 2000 Kia sportage shut off driving down the road it was out of oil I filled with oil it will turn over but will not crank is there a shutoff and how do I get running again?

pulling is not jump starting . better take to a mechanic tho

my 2008 kia just started bucking when i'm at a stop sign and take off going down the road its ok

Some makers used Vacuum releases for their emergency brakes which had a Vacuum switch connected to the shift assembly. This would account for a stumble if Vacuum vented out through this switch.

More common for shifting stumble to occur from Park to Drive, engaging a load on the engine, not to stumble to a freewheeling Park position. Sounds like idle speed control is sluggish to stabilize the motor.

You also have idle speed control problem with A/C, kind of shows that A/C was what kept the engine running because when you turned the A/C off, the car died.

I am going to give you some Websites for wiring diagrams. Alldatadiy.com amd Autozone.com with free wiring info upon registering your vehicle.

It seems that the base Idle speed control is not working and the A/C idle speed control is.

Also check for Vacuum leaks on the intake manifold by spraying water from a pumpbottle on the seams of the gaskets.

Check ignition Relay or ignition switch for random cutouts. The fusebox layout is on the Autozone site.

I hope my solution helps.

there is a button on the gear shift that says hold that may have been pushed in...good luck

yes they are similar. you would have to pull the tank out to fix this problem

maybe she just need oil in her? dip her stick again and find out! ooow!
ok then??? why should the cam belt have any thing to do with low oil???? and right now what makes you think its broken?
ok then! if the cam sharft seized up then it could brake the timeing belt,
oh!!! back to that lack of oil in it then?

You most likely have air in the cooling system.You would need to bleed the cooling system of air.There should have bleed screws near water neck,or thermostat.Do this cold.Remove the radiator cap and fill full.Then start the engine and loosen the screws and watch for nothing but coolant to flow out(no air or bubbles).When you are sure the air is gone out of the cooling system,shut the bleeder screw off,and fill radiator up and test to see that engine runs cool,and you have heat at all speeds and rpm s.The electric cooling fan should come on at a tempuratue of about 215 or so.But just as important,the cooling fan should cut off at a lower tempurature.If the cooling fan does not do this,you still have air in the system.If you can not get the air out this way,then do this.Remove the radiator cap and reservoir cap and fill them both up full.The reservoir needs to be over the fill mark a good deal.Replace the caps.Start the engine with ac and heat off.Let it run until the engine gets to about 212 or 215 degrees and shut the engine off.Wait about 30 minutes and check the reservoir to see if the coolant has dropped.It should have dropped.If the reservoir has dropped or not ,do this again and again untill the reservoir drops in coolant level,and engine temp is good(fan goes on and goes off).Remember to refill the reservoir as needed as it drops,not to run out of coolant.

It sounds like the hydraulic tappets have bled down due to lack of oil.This causes no or low compression resulting in a non start. Best cure I tried was too remove all spark plugs and With a fresh battery crank the engine for a few minutes ( it will crank over quicker without the plugs and allow the tappets to pressurize with oil. Re fit the spark plugs and then try to start it again.

Check engine light? Possible Crank sensor.

Sounds like the catalytic converter may be bad.
But could be an electrical issue as well.
