Question edited for clarity. It is a common issue. There are videos here and lots of information. Don't forget that after you do a fix like repairing or replacing, you have to reset the Check Engine Light. Remove your new gas cap and spray it, and all around the filler with WD40 and clean off any residue with a clean shop cloth. https://www.google.com/search?q=2016+Kia+Rio+P0455+and+P0441

The PO420 code is a generic code indicating a problem with the catalytic converter system efficiency below threshold. This issue can be caused by several factors, including:

1. A clogged or failing catalytic converter
2. An exhaust leak before the catalytic converter
3. A malfunctioning oxygen sensor
4. Fuel system issues, such as a clogged fuel injector
5. Engine misfire
6. A damaged or failing ignition system
7. A vacuum leak

Here are the steps you can take to diagnose and fix the issue:

1. Check the catalytic converter: If the converter is clogged, it may need to be replaced.
2. Examine the exhaust system for leaks: Leaks before the catalytic converter can reduce its efficiency. If a leak is found, it should be repaired.
3. Replace the oxygen sensor: If the oxygen sensor is malfunctioning, it can cause the engine to run too rich or too lean, which can affect the catalytic converter.
4. Check the fuel system: Clogged fuel injectors can cause a lean fuel mixture, which can harm the catalytic converter. Have the fuel system checked and cleaned as necessary.
5. Repair any engine misfires: An engine misfire can damage the catalytic converter over time. Fix the misfire and see if the code returns.
6. Check the ignition system: A faulty ignition system can cause a misfire and damage the catalytic converter. Have the ignition system checked and repaired as needed.
7. Find and fix any vacuum leaks: Vacuum leaks can cause a lean fuel mixture and damage the catalytic converter.

It's best to have a mechanic diagnose the problem and perform the necessary repairs, as some of these repairs can be complicated and require specialized tools.

The turn signal flasher on a 2014 Kia Sportage is typically located in the vehicle's fuse box. The exact location of the flasher will depend on the specific make and model of your Sportage, but it is generally located near the steering column or under the dashboard. Here are the steps to locate the turn signal flasher:

1. Locate the fuse box: The fuse box in a Kia Sportage is typically located under the dashboard on the driver's side of the vehicle.
2. Identify the flasher: Once you have located the fuse box, look for the turn signal flasher, which is typically a small, rectangular box with two or three wires connected to it.
3. Test the flasher: Once you have found the flasher, you can test it by turning on the hazard lights and checking to see if the flasher is clicking. If it is not clicking, the flasher may be faulty and will need to be replaced.

Scotty Kilmer did a video on this less that a week ago, but I can't find it. What he said was never connect jump cables with the powered donor car running. It is also possible, you connected reverse polarity and the residual power in the flat battery, fried your ECM. Call out out a mobile auto electrician to come to you. It is cheaper than a tow and a cheaper service anyway being mobile. https://www.google.ca/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me https://www.youtube.com/@scottykilmer/videos ..

It sounds like there may be an issue with the fuel system or the throttle body on your 2008 Kia Rio. The fact that the car idles fine but lacks power when you give it gas suggests that there may be a problem with the flow of fuel to the engine or with the throttle body. Possible causes for this issue include a clogged fuel filter, a malfunctioning fuel pump, or a problem with the throttle body. Here are some steps you can try to fix the problem:

1. Check the fuel filter: Make sure that the fuel filter is clean and not clogged. If it is dirty, replace it.
2. Check the fuel pump: Make sure that the fuel pump is functioning properly and that it is delivering enough fuel to the engine.
3. Check the throttle body: Make sure that the throttle body is clean and not clogged with carbon build-up. Clean the throttle body if necessary
4. Check the air filter: Make sure that the air filter is clean and not clogged, if it is dirty, replace it.
5. Check the vacuum lines: Make sure that the vacuum lines connected to the throttle body are not cracked or leaking.

If the problem persists after trying these steps, it's best to take your Kia Rio to a professional mechanic or a Kia dealer for further diagnosis and repair. It's also worth noting that the noise you're hearing coming from the back of the motor could be something else and not related to the issues I've mentioned. So it is best to get it checked by a professional.

Question edited heavily to make sense due to the wrong choice of similar sounding words with completely different meanings. It may be a faulty, or sticky oil pressure sensor. Leave it a week as everything settles down.
