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.

Rio wont start and stalls after filling gas tank

Kia Rio 2005  268000 miles
Whenever I fill my fuel tank totally full the car either wont start or stalls out if it does start. I had new gas tank and fuel filter (inside the tank) replaced by dealer about 10 months ago.

2008 Kia Optima. Same problem. After fill up the car starts and runs fine. Then a few minutes later it stalls. No codes. I replaced the EVAP purge valve, but it still does it. If I stop the fill up before the gas pump shuts off automatically then I have no problems.

Car works fine until it warms up. This is when the cars rpm cuts out but still runs. Changed the fuel pump and filter but still having this problem. Sometimes in drive thru’s it will stall and only start after a few mins.

Kia, Rio, 2012

Kia Rio 2012 Hatch 200000 miles
The car fuel consumption is high, it was in a flood , a few years ago. Whilst driving, the car will just surge, like a power dip. If I lift my foot slightly, it loses power. No codes, no fault codes. All sensors are new, filters are new. Up hill I have to accelerate higher, the eco green goes out easily. The things I didnt check yet, is the CAT and gear box( automatic). Your advice will be appreciated.

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?

Engine won’t start after turning it off for brief period

Kia Rio 2017 GDI 127250 miles
Seems to start fine initially and drive fine as well. Recently at very random occasions (like if I stop for gas) it seems as though my Kia won’t start. The lights come on, it makes the sound as if it’s cranking but nothing and then all the lights go completely off or dim. This has happen three times as of today over then span of two months and two of the times it has reset my dash view. (Trips starts back at zero or changes from viewing mileage left in tank to a trip or avgerage gas mileage. ) there doesn’t seem to be any warming as to when it happens and there has not been any signals lighting up in the dash and the car gets regularly serviced it just happens. Any thoughts?

Horrible fuel mileage/fuel consumption

Kia Rio 2013 lx 1.6l hatchback 102000 miles
Purchased this 2013 kia rio hatchback 2 months ago. I was drawn to this vehicle because of it's decent fuel economy. I've put roughly 550 miles on this car since my purchase. From day one the onboard computer was showing around 12mph average. My personal ledger shows the same around 12mpg average. Can anyone help me here? I cannot seem to find any info on what is the problem.
