This car is driving me crazy its at the mechanics now and is not throwing any codes. Yeah me .. It has happened 3 times now. When you turn the car off it works again. And when it has no RPMs it still has power and can be driven. But NO i don't drive it..until my RPMs come back

Likely you just need a new crankshaft position sensor. Buy a Kia part.

You can also search the forum for “crankshaft position sensor” and find others having similar issues and solutions.

It does set a code but it doesn’t store it for some reason. The next time it happens, don’t key off the car. Plug in your scanner and it should show a code. Once you take the key out then turn it back on the code will be gone.

Are you trying to say your tachometer is bust? If you can drive it, there ARE rpms, you just can't read them.

I advise to look at a new car than to suffer with this, for example, I look cars at Ultimate Guide for Buying Salvage Cars in the US - MSZG News. Here information on used cars, and so there is a link to the normal auction, at the moment looked for a car in 2012, in good condition, and the problem areas of the model, I know, I think you can buy not expensive.
