The 1999 Kia Sportage 2-wheel drive has a timing belt. Mine just shredded driving down the highway. So replace your belts at 60,000 to 90,000 miles like the book says. I have 91,000.
2 wheel or 4 wheel drive . front or rear ?
Yes, the 1999 Kia Sportage with 2.0L DOHC is an "interference" engine, meaning the valves can hit the pistons if the timing belt broke.
No, but have you ever seen a motorcycle that used a drive belt rather than a chain. Well the belt look just like your timing belt.
may be out of timing or check starter
