Replying to: sue45 (Feb 05, 2008 3:58 pm) We did the test it is not the fuel pump, running out of ideas. Does any one have suggestions OK then for fuel supply. What about the other tests I suggested in my first reply: WHen voltage runs low (for alternator problem) engine starts being erratic : injectors do not fire, spark is poor, ..and battery runs down. Use a voltmeter and test battery voltage with engine running (14.2-14.7) There have been cases of blocked catalyser...disconnect exhaust and run a test with a lot of noise..(That's fun)... ALso, I cannot dismiss the possibility of the timing belt having jumped a cog or 2, so I'd certainly verify that. You said it had been changed...when? Is the Check ENgine Light ON? And if so, retreive codes and post them. YOU said it lacks power...can you describe that with more details? DOes the engine start well? IS it a manual or automatic? If an auto, do you start from standstill with the HOLD light ON? (this starts in 2nd gear., quite mushy.).

Replying to: ort102 (Feb 04, 2008 1:11 pm)  I drove to cleveland today which is aboutu 3 hours away and at about 90 miles into the trip the temp guage started to go up. So i turned on the heat it dropped back below half. then when i got off at my exit the guage shot all the way down below cold then started dancing around as i would accelerate and when i would come to a stop it would just drop again.. any ideas

THis is what "burps" the system. I told you many ways to check specifically for this...I think this relieves you from more testing. Most obviously, you have a blown head gasket. |

Replying to: agregory (Feb 13, 2008 9:58 am) Article On Oxygen Sensor Codes For Help With This Kia Check Engine Light Code PLease indicate year model. THis indicates computer tries to correct for mixture past its available range. THere is a problem with the fuel delivery system. DO you have other symptoms? |

Replying to: sue45 (Feb 13, 2008 4:15 pm) Did you have this car for a long time? DO you compare the performance to this same car as you knew it before, or to other cars you are used to drive? Objectively, this engine has no torque at low rpm ...so what you say is not very different from its "normal" behaviour....that is why I want to know your base for comparison.... I had asked you to confirm you do not start with the HOLD light on...
