2015 Kia Forte - Fuel Pump?

Topic starter

Hey Scotty, the car has 100,000 miles on it and a few weeks ago I turned my car on and it had a hard time turning over but did anyway and it sputtered down the street with little to no acceleration when I put my foot on the gas and the RPM's rested at 0. I turned my car off and tried again and it turned over perfectly fine and drove perfectly normal for several weeks.

A few weeks later the same thing happened. Then yesterday I was sitting in traffic and my car suddenly shut off without warning. Turned it back on - hard time turning over - sputtered - back off and on again and it turned over normally and drove fine all the way back home.

- Car as fantastic fuel economy.

- No check engine light, I checked for codes with a system and it reads no codes.

- When the car died the battery and low oil light came on but turned off afterward.

What seems to be the issue here?

Did you check for freeze-frame data that may have been stored when the problem occurred? Live data may also provide some clues.

That's to be expected.

It could be many things. Start with the basics - filters, fuel pressure, spark plugs, clean throttle body and MAF sensors, check for vacuum leaks.
