check the water pump. I had the same problem.
Your 2000 kia sportage would not accelerate and eventually went dead what could the problem be?
A plugged transmission filter can cause your transmission to hesitate when you shift into drive. A collapsed vacuum hose can also cause the problem.
I had the exact same problem with my 2002 Sportage. My problem was the fan clutch was worn out. If your's is a thermal clutch then that is probably the problem. The problem is that the liquid in the fan clutch gets too thin while it is spinning and does not coagulate when your coming to a stop or slowing down and does not spin faster as it should.

Replace the leaking part
Because you bought the 1.6. Get a 2.0D and the problem will go away.
There could be 2 things. First check the thermostat. Easy way to check remove it and toss it in boiling water if it opens it's still good if not that's the problem. If it isn't it could also be the water pump. Don't drive it if it's over heating, you could mess up the heads on the truck.
in a 1998 kia sportage 4x4 can you show me how, to fix the cooling system, and why does it over heat, please show me a manual book , how to fix this problem.
Changing the depth of field.
Your car might hesitate under acceleration when the weather is wet because your tires are worn or because there is water in the gas. You might also have a problem with the fuel injectors.

I have a 1999 KIA Sportage and experience the mysterious hard starting problem on an intermittent basis. I have found a solid shot of starter fluid into the air intake line just behind the Mass Airflow Sensor usually does the trick. As to why the problem exists or what is the root cause of the problem, that is still quite the enigma. Hope it helps. AD
