my 2001 kia sportage just died while driving yesterday?

[nikkihowell64]

yesterday while driving home doing 55 mph my kia just spluddered out and died without any warning so i knew i forgot to get gas assumed it was out and had a friend bring gas but still would not start acted like it was gonna but never kicked over. is it my timing belt? or my fuel pump? or (hopefully) my fuel filter? please help

If it was the timing belt, it wouldn't "almost" start.
Clogged fuel filter ? maybe, but usually there would be a bypass.
Fuel pump is more likely, especially if you like to run your tank dry.

Big help Due August. It's more than likely the timing belt.

it could be a lot of things, if your check engine light came on then you could take it to the dealer and they could tell you why but other than that i would have to hear or see it to give any farther advice
