1997 Kia Sportage Engine turns off

Has the check engine liught come on? Have you checked fuel pump pressure?

Honestly, it sounds electrical like a crank sensor, but I need to know if the check engine light has come on.

Let me know.

has not come on. and today i was driving and all of a sudden steam came in through my vents and filled up the car. at first i thought it was the radiator but when i put water in it the water leaked inside of my car and flooded the floor mats. I have no idea what's wrong with it. Someone told me it was probably the heater core.

As far as the engine, it is hard to say without a check engine light coming on. However, if it starts right back up, I would recommend checking the crank sensor.

As far as the steam, you need a heater core. That is where the coolant is coming from and getting in the vehicle. Not a fun part to replace.

Let me know if you have other questions. Also, let me know what you find with the crank sensor.
