I have a 2006 kia sorento that kills while driving. Any answers?? ---

Presumably when it dies the check engine light comes on. There should be a code stored from when that happened. Have the code scanned–most auto parts stores will do it for free–and post the code here or just take it to your regular mechanic. I’m not a mechanic but my top-of-the-head guess is a bad fuel pump. ---

It’s worth checking because there just might be a code. There could be a code but it is much less likely if the CEL doesn’t come on while the engine is running. ---
