HELP!! I have a 2002 KIA Optima. I was driving down the road and it just died. No warning at all. When it died the oil light and the battery light came on. I tried to restart it but it would not start. It would turn over, but not start. It has 1/4 tank of gas in it so I know it is not out of gas. Dose anybody have any idea of what it is. My husband thinks it is the fuel pump. He says he can’t work on this new car. He freaked out because it doesn’t even have a spark plug!! Please help me some one!!!
Thanks!!!

It could be the fuel pump or the timing belt. When you go to start it does it sound a little different ...if it does then it is probably the timing belt. By the way the car does have spark plugs.

No, it sounds the same. It is turning over but just not starting. This is why we think it is the fuel pump.
Is the fuel pump in the gas tank?
Oh.. about the spark plugs. Are they under the cover in the middle?
Thanks alot!!

The spark plugs are a coil-over design under the intake, don't even waste your time messing with it unless you have another car to drive.

have you tried checking the gasoline filter? it is probably clogged up in a way that the engine could not get a gas. you may need to change your gasoline filter. hope this helps. let us know what really happend. thanks.
