    2001 Kia Sportage won't idle
    I pulled up to a stop sign and the car went dead. It would not start normally, so I pulled it off with my truck. It runs great but won't idle or restart normally. I drove 50 miles when I got it restarted by jumping it off and no problems except when I try to let it idle. It just goes dead. Can you help?

    . Ensure battery is fully charged.

    . Check all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    . Check for any codes.

    . Check the distributorless ignition coils.
