Stalls when driving and Check engine

Kia Sportage 2008  100000 miles
My Jeep Kia sportage 2008 diesel stalls when driving and I do not know why. I've cleaned the tank, changed the battery from the fuel pump, checked the rail and I do not know what else to do. The Check Engine indicator remains turned on, what should I do?

Start or Fuel issue

Kia Sportage 2000 Sportage 120000 miles
I have a 2000 Kia Sportage I replaced my fuel pump and tank and everything seamed fixed and now it won't start as if no fuel I disconnect the fuel pump and crank a few times and it almost fires over for a second, then I reach back and plug it back in and crank and it won't start. I finally sprayed starting fluid down the throat and it tried to start and finally started. Once it is running stays running without any misfire or hesitation, but you never seam to know if it is going to restart after turning it off for like 30 minutes.

Cutting out

Kia Sportage 2001  95000 miles
I have a 2001 sportage. Most of the time it runs fine; smooth acceleration, good power but on other times it acts like someting is shuting off. There is suddenly no power at all; it cuts out, than a couple of seconds later it kicks back on than off again. Sometimes it is so bad that i cannot move at all. If i let it cool down for awhile, it will work well for awhile than act up again. I changed the fuel pump, cleaned out the fuel tank replaced the fuel relay, and it worked well for several hours, about 500 miles on the highway, than quit again
