Chuggin and draggin down bad

I have a kia sportage..a couple of weeks ago I put gas at a sinclair and a few days later it started chuggin and really draggin on me...I put some fuel injector cleaner in it and put different gas in it so mix around well it still does it. My husband put in new spark plugs and new cole packs, wires in and we treated the gas again with sea foam... it is not as bad as it was but how can I really get it fixed.

    We ran the gas completely out and put better fuel in it and also we had it tested and what it said was #2 clynder is out and idle speed to high. My husband seems to think its the fuel injectors and he doesn't want to listen to what i say about what i think so if you have any other idea let me know

Drain the fuel completely and refuel at a better fuel station. Sounds like there is to much water trying to mix with the gas. Take the plugs out and look at the tip to see if it is black or brown. That is also a indication of water in your system making it run really rich to make it able to even run

    If cylinder 2 is down it is one of three reasons. Either bad plug. Bad plug wire, or bad coil. The idle speed is your idle speed sensor. If it where the fuel injectors you would have VERY bad knocking and you would have stall outs that would not restart

Kia sportage diesel acceleration problem

Do you have any check engine lights on? Most diesels have a safety feature that shuts down the engine and puts it in "limp mode" when there is a problem somewhere . It will stay in limp mode till repaired and the code cleared. You should get a code with a diagnostic.

The last 5-6 I have gotten gas, 2005 Sportage hard to start at gas pump, but then fine after a few miles - mechanic is clueless!

Your code, assuming it was evap related, also means other issues aside from a loose gas cap. Your fuel system "closes" down to purge unburned fuel back through the engine. A loose gas cap will stop this process, as in why the check engine light will go on. Also, there is a vent solenoid, purge solenoid, fuel tank pressure sensor, and a charcoal canister that are involved. My guess, but if you have a bad vent solenoid, you may have symptoms like yours. Any "good" technician can test this for you.

2002 Kia Sportage won't start. Not the battery...after you turn it off sounds like someething is running under the hood. Cannot get it started to take to a mechanic. I am a woman alone, please help!

Under the hood on the passenger side is a fuse panel that has 2 solenoids that push in. One is the gas solenoid that sends current to the fuel pump to start car. If this is bad your car will not start. Know this from experience because after a mechanic put in a $500 fuel pump and the car did the same thing 2 days later I purchased the new relay for $11. Runs fine!

I think your problem might be your fuel relay which is situated next to the fuse box in the engine compartment.
