Maybe the timing belt broke.
What would cause the timing belt to break twice in 1 month on a 2000 Kia Sportage?
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.
this question has been answered under 2000 kia sportage timing belt replacement.

timing chain
what year ? if it is say 2000 sportage with double overhead cam, possible real damage done, this IS an interference engine. In english, if timing belt breaks while engine is running severe damage can be done to valves, cams, pistons,etc. A $50.00 timing belt could easily cost you now $2500.00 to repair engine. If it just broke sitting still and NOT running, $ 458.00 to fix ,include water pump , it is driven by timing belt.
It is depended on the condition of your timing belt
yes it has one.
If the engine runs at all, the timing belt is not "broke."
