So I think am cursed every car i get begins to die or something happens to it within the same year i buy it (of course were talking used cars) I just payed off my 2004 kia rio and i was driving home from work when it felt like it didn't have any horse power so i got off the expressway when it died on me. try to get the damn thing started and it wont fucking start it feels like its turning over but almost like it isnt getting any gas or something fuck i dont know.

I had a similar issue with a used car a while back... it was turning over but wouldn't start... turns out the timing belt ripped.

There's your problem.

OP: might be the fuel pump or a clogged fuel filter. Could be fairly cheap.
Might also be loss of compression...likely not so cheap.

Well, 2k4 was still in the meh zone of the Koreans but now that's already as out of date as everyone in the 70s that disparaged Japanese cars.
