Ive brought this car to 3 mechanics...the car starts and runs fine until it warms up..then it stalls...the last mechanic, the one where its being fixed says its the computer...He replaced the computer hoping it would fix the problem...no luck...now he says there are 2 computers and it has to be the other one...so hes rereplacing the second computer now...computers arent cheap for this car $800-900....I only have to pay for one comp, but this is getting old...any ideas?...please help...thanks

Should have bought an extended warranty, especially on a KIA!! Then you wouldn't have to worry about spending $800-900 per visit!!

temp sensor has gone very bad, there is a cold start sensor that will add lots of extra fuel to start a car that is cold, some time that sensor goes and it will keep flooding the cylinders with fuel leading to black smoke coming out of the tail pipe, once it is warm its too much fuel and it cant be burnt well and may cause your car to stall. Hope this helps!

Had a similar problem, turned out to be a lose vacuum fitting, cost $0 to fix.
