Electrical failure SolvedSolved

Kia Rio 2009  6000 miles
There is no electrical current reaching neither the fuel pump nor the ignition coil. I've been trying to find the failure for three days but still with no positive results. Can anyone give me an answer please?

Hi, there is a fuse in charge of closing that circuit, the IG1, that, together with the IG2, make the relay system work, which is the one that allows the starting. If this fuse is working properly, look for damaged connectors or wires in the fuse box in general.

I had similar problem with my 04 rio base 4cyl. Does it run sluggish at times also? Is the smoke immediate, thick constant or have a odor? It could possibly be a clogged catalytic converter like my situation. I would have the exaust checked, try cleaning the mass air flow sensor& plug, pull spark plugs and check the gaps with a gap tool see if the gaps are ALL correct to ur cars requirements(pre gaped plugs are sometimes incorrect) bc if ur not gettin equal and proper fire to all cylinders it could cause it to tun lean or rich & create heavy emissions/smoke. Also check for any sign of moisture, oil, or burnt/fouled if really chared to whitish brown color which ones are better or worse. Etc I hope you have found or find and get it fixed. I wish knew more to help. Good luck.

Rio won't start but everything else works

Kia Rio 2013 Hatchback/ 1.6L GDI 191000 miles
I have checked the fuel pumps, spark plugs and coils, compression, fuses, battery, starter, there's fuel and everything works but it won't turn over. The only thing that was different when it stopped working was it was parked on a flat road instead of an incline. Does anyone have any suggestions?
