They replaced the CPS, and coil pack. The engine relay was making noise, so they replaced it. They tell me it has fuel but no spark. Is there anything else they should check?

CPS?

From what I've learned over the past few months w/ mine & the help of Axeman here is the only things that can cause a "no spark" situation are the ECM (computer located against the firewall in the passenger compartment), bad coils, camshaft position sensor (located on the left back of the head) , crankshaft position sensor (located under towards the rear of the block on the left side).

Check those connections first. But if it ran going in, they need to make it run coming out.

CPS = Cam Position Sensor

But that wasn't the problem, it turns out the problem was a bad ground post on the starter. It wasn't too expensive to fix.

The KIA isn't as powerful as the dually, but it sure is easier to park.

You called it right Gary. It's amazing how fast a KIA tech found it. The guys who only work on them occasionally were in the dark.
