altenator? Also last 2 weeks
Malfunction indicator light has come
on Kia manual says driving may cause

could cause potential catalytic
converter damage...could this cause
it not to start? Thank you!

The catalytic converter and the no start problem are probably not related. Get a deep charge on your battery. If you live in the US AutoZone dose it for free.

Then your starter needs a close examination. It's the only thing that is left.
