I had that problem with my 98 Jeep Cherokee Sport, they ckd all kinds of things and finally replaced the fuel pump and then it was fine.
The engine needs fuel, compression and spark the run. You are missing one of those.
Obviously- the spark plugs were not the issue :)
Start with a good tune up. Could be a bum spark plug or spark plug wire.
Chic, Calvin Klein, Cherokee
there are 2 main reasons 1 the engine is not getting enought petrol 2 spark engine is not getting spark this is probley the cause the main thing that goes wrog with the spark is the ht coil replace this and the spark plug and your engine should start
My 99 Jeep had the same issue, eventually it had No spark, I replaced the engine coil, it didn't work, had to replace ingnition sensor.
spark? fuel?
Check for fuel and spark
probably cam positionong sensor.
Because of your cool exhaust system
Does it turn over? Does it have fuel, spark and compression?
If your KIA Sportage won't start but has a spark and fuel, it could be a the fuel pump relay or possibly a fuse.
Check for fuel and spark
needs a new spark plug
Battery? No spark? No fuel? Any trouble codes in the computer?
You fouled the spark plugs, replace and it will start. I just worked on one yesterday with this problem
Fuel, compression? Yes maybe but most likely its the Crank Sensor i have had to jeep sports and have read alot about and also have had to replace it in both jeeps hope this helps
