How do I fix my mom's Kia Sportage?

My mom owns a 1999 Kia Sportage; when she first starts it up it runs just fine, but if she backs up and then pulls forward and shuts off her Kia and then tries to start it all that happens is it keeps turning over but does not start up for her. Aan you please explain how to fix this please?

Hi James,

It sounds to us that the car is losing fuel pressure and there is air in the system. You really need to take it to a qualified, experienced mechanic to fix this properly.

Let us know how you get on
