Engine quits out at 2500 to 3000 rpms in kia rio?

[Dillon]

Ill be driving and when i hit about 3000 or 2500 rpms the engine starts choking out and kinda jerking(the car) like its not getting fuel.

could that be from dirty air or fuel filter? or both

by the its a 2006 Kia Rio with 55,000 miles on it i just run 87 octane in it also

if you have any ideas or anything i would greatly appreciate it. but no just saying is a Kia i dont care if you going to say that

Change the air and fuel filters and run the 89 or 90 octane with fuel injector cleaner in it. then don't buy another KIA Again

Same thing in my Jeep Liberty, cant get above 40 miles per hour..transmission going out on mine...I WISH i only had a gas problem, good luck...keep transmission fluids changed as needed (which I did but transmission went out all of a sudden), no real warnings except what you described

DO NOT RUN YOU CAR ON 89-90 OCTANE FUEL. My parents rented the 4 door sedan Rio during a trip to chicago, this car as i remember uses regular gas. If you run it on 89-90 octane fuel, or premium, fuel injectors and spark plugs will break and your looking at a hefty bill. I believe your timing bell might be broken. This is very unlikely due to the low mialeage of the car but it might be the problem. It also might be fuel injectors might need to be replaced. But as the guy above said, buy a $10 bottle of fuel injector cleaner and see what happens. Just don't pour it with 89-90 octane fuel. This is highly discouraged and may void your warranty. All you have to do is pour the fuel injector cleaner into your gas tank.
