This Is Why Your Kia Soul Keeps Stalling

[@Moroccanroller1]

We're so glad my wife found this video. We feel confident that thanks to you, the sporadic ignition turnover issue and more recent additional lack of acceleration power with our 2012 KIA Soul have both been solved! We're relieved since no mechanics we know could figure it out without a check engine light and diagnostic code. Thanks again Jesse from Surprise Arizona.

[@tonymunn]

This video helped me resolve the problem with my 2015 Kia Rio. Thank you. Life saver!

[@joeapache342]

Thank you broh.... I changed fuel pump, filter, and spark plugs since the car definitely need it after 128538 miles. Then car sutts off while in idle, then hard turn back on and no rpm gauge didn't work. Then crankshaft position sensor like you recommend solve the issue.... Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

My 2013 Kia soul is doing the same thing !!!!!

This was the most informative video I watched for this isssue. Thanks for posting!

[@Willy43812]

You saved me. After installing a new battery It would still stall when driving, and I would coast off the road, then it wouldn't start.

[@starguard4122]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was very useful and informative!

[@robertodonnell8922]

Excellent video was able to get my Kia running again with the crankshaft positioning sensor. However, you need to go over disconnecting the electrical fitting took me longer to figure that out and replace the sensor. Thank you.

[@sodomamerica718]

What year kia you have? Me 2018 wont go pass 20rpm🤦‍♂️

[@gmasadventures9981]

My Kia Soul 2012, gave me issues starting then after a few attempts it starts. My mechanic said it needed a battery, the next day after I Just replaced the battery it did the same thing again. Took it back to my mechanic, he couldn't figure out the issue since the check engine light never comes on. He said the next time it gives you issues just have it tow to me. Anyway, it kept giving me issues starting then it would start, but last week after it started, when I drove off it wouldn't accelerate beyond 20 MPH. This video of yours gave me some clarity as to why this is happening. Thank you so much. Hopefully, this solution should take care of my issue.

Hi Jesse. We have a 2016 Kia Soul that just started stalling and sputtering. We have replaced the Map sensor, the crank position sensor, and the throttle body. The throttle body fixed the problem. But it rained yesterday and now the problem is back. Can you suggest what could be wrong. We've taken it to two kia dealer shops and they can't figure it out. Please help!

[@hylandfoto]

Just replaced the CPS in a friend’s 2014 Soul in a parking lot. Thanks for the assist! 🤜⚡️🤛 PS - once the bolt holding the sensor, and the bolt holding the bracket are removed, it’s easier to disconnect the sensor from above, then below. Especially if you can’t fit well under the car with no jack/stand

[@leecowell8165]

do NOT get under there WITHOUT a jack stand!!!

[@jimwagner6260]

Very nice. No bs.

[@panamajosh76]

Would this crank position sensor also cause hesitation while accelerating? I have all three symptoms...hard to start, engine stall and hesitation???

[@memegbutterfly]

Mine is also doing all 3. The dealership is telling me they can't find anything wrong with it 😢. There is definitely something wrong .

[@anthonymann3413]

Thanks for posting. This helped me realize I need to sell my pos KIA and invest in something better. Which will be easy to do as any car is better than a KIA.

[@JohnSmith-zk2bh]

So that must be happening to my car because it just started I will be driving my car stop at the stoplight. It would idle down real low and cut off. I put it in neutral start it up. It starts up put it in drive. I’ll drive it again but when I stop again the RPMs go down really low in the car shakes just a little bit and cut off, so if that’s the problem on my car, you definitely help me out a lot thx 🙏

[@belindamesa5836]

Mine doing the same, 2018 Kia soul, it reads P0303 or P0301, I had them change the plugs and PCV, so should I change this CRANK POSITION SENSOR INSTEAD!!! Please feed back and they also clean the injectors as well, and continues to do the same, I’m hope maybe this CRANK POSITION SENOR WILL FIX IT

[@sergiolemusXxAssassin006xX]

I really hope this the answer for me bro went to mechanic and auto zone and scanners show nothing. Changed my battery, last night changed the spark plugs and coil boots and started really nice but then immediately shut off I tried again quickly putting it in drive and it drove but had a little bit of a jerk motion this morning drove fine but I know it's only a matter of time only other thing I had planned on doing was cleaning the gas injectors but don't see how that would make it turn off

[@Danyheli1]

Thanks bro, really nice

[@ivanalvarez2465]

I’m having an issue with my 2017 Kia Forte that keeps turning off and I took it to the dealership and they can’t find anything wrong with it, it turns off while driving and I can turn it on right away, could the crank censor be the problem?

What would cause my 2010 manual trans kia soul to stay accelerated when I turn it on? No check engine light on. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

[@MrH_Does_Math]

What if I didn’t unplug negative battery cable and started it? Can I still do that and it will work? Because I didn’t see that part of the video and the same issue happened.

[@lachondapeterson4715]

I have a 2014 Kia soul and it drove great for about a month and a half then it started having problems accelerating from 0-30 after that it rides normal. My rpm barely moves from 0-40mph. No issues cranking and I already had the battery and alternator tested. I’m going to try changing the spark plugs and if that doesn’t help I’m returning it back to the car lot I’m making my payments to.

[@HeydaCarreras]

so, what happened? come back and tell us what the problem was, please. do not let people like that.

[@Wildonesprohacker662]

There a big chance its your coil packs, but when you change those out you want to change the spark plugs as well. My girlfriends Kia soul had the same issue but replacing the packs and plugs, it's regained it's power.

[@saferwaters]

Another symptom- your RPM gauge shows 0 when the engine is running

[@XJJesse]

That’s right! Forgot to mention that. Thanks

[@gumarovasquez3614]

Bout to change mine. My RPM stops working while I’m driving. I pull over, turn off engine. Turn back on and it’ll work. But for sure replacing it today.

[@RemanesAnonymous]

Another symptom on mine is the rpm gadget drops to zero and stays and also the car with the squiggly lines behind it comes on the dash.the indicator light for traction control I guess? I don't know if this is a one off or not but my wife has the 2015 kia soul ex gdi

[@saferwaters]

@@RemanesAnonymous my girlfriend's car did the same thing, I believe the TC system is also monitoring the engine speed.

[@ednovy4925]

This is EXACTLY what mine has been doing for 2-3 months since the catalytic converter was replaced by my mechanic!! Would that repair cause or assist this issue? I've been pushing in clutch, turning key off, wait 2 seconds, turn back on, pop clutch in gear to jump start it. That's worked until the last week. Not only is this happening multiple times per day, I've had trouble starting it. I'll drive 10 min - an hour, turn it off & when leaving, won't start. I'll also use a charged jump starter which has helped on occasions where it won't start. 2 days ago nothing worked and I had it towed to mechanic. Wish I saw this video first! LOL I'll call him to advise to check this part out

[@stephenjones8346]

I have a 2014 Kia soul and I keep having my engine idle high when I shift gears. When I shift to 3, 4, 5 and 6 gear it takes time to build up speed. I had the spark plugs changed months ago, along with both O2 sensors (which I found out recently the upstream I brought was faulty it was replaced today) I even had the canister purge valve changed alone with the catalytic converter. I changed the gas cap as well. Even still I'm not getting the power needed when I shift gears. Do you have a clue of what I may actually be dealing with?

[@ejaime3285]

My car is doing that now .. did u find out what was wrong

[@irisbaez1972]

@@XJJesse Never saw your question until now. Right at 0:58 across your eyes or right elbow. I don't think where you put the floor jack is strong enough and not good for the jack. My is a Kia soul 2012. or you lift the front of the car putting the floor jack by the front of the car all the way to the center, or you just go by the same side you did but pushing the floor jack all the way to the lower control arm bushing where is metal and lift that left side and put the jack behind the tire where is supposed to be. Each way is hard because the stupid Kia Eliminated the front subframe support where before was a motor mount.

[@fdimichele]

the frame is metal and runs down the length of vehicle on both sides. you can use this to lift and put jack under control arm.@@irisbaez1972

[@lissethvelasquez245]

That didn't work on me it shuts off while turning only either left or right mostly when is reduced speed has new spark plugs ,wires ,oil filter ,cabin filter , air filter and definitely the crank shaft sensor

[@fdimichele]

idle air control valve or auxillary air valve as kia calls it can cause issues keeping engine going at low rpm. in theory the car computer could try to compensate, but only if a little bit bad
