Car stalls after a few seconds of running. Help!!!?
Hello I have a 2000 Kia Sephia base model and it recently has had trouble starting. At first it would start every once in a while run for a day or two then stop starting. Eventually it stopped starting all together. I replaced the battery and the fuel filter and a mechanic told me it has most likely it was the fuel pump. So I had the fuel pump replaced and to prime the fuel pump I tried starting the car. I tried starting it a couple times and the battery died so I got a jump and tried starting it again and the car finally started, I revved the engine a little while in neutral and all seemed well however after I stopped stepping on the gas pedal the car suddenly turned off (or stalled?) I tried starting it again and it started, ran in neutral for about 30 second then turned off again. This has been the result every time I try starting it what could be the problem now?

if you have a check engine light on when it starts have that checked you can rent an OBD reader and do it yourself but if not it sounds to me like one or more of your relays are failing check and replace the engine main relay sometimes you can use the horn or headlight relay also check engine shutoff relay also use one of the other relays they are in the engine compartment usually behind the battery
