Black/white is feed to idle air control motor and should also be OFF with key off. +12V to injectors and dile control comes from the main relay, not the F.P. relay. But if MAIN relay is frozen ON, then the F.P. relay will also be ON all the time. Since you have another relay available, replace the MAIN relay for a test. Someone had a quite similar problem recently on this or another forum, However this condition as such would not stop the car from starting....but it would drain the battery if car was left alone for some time. http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/avigex/relays2001.gif http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg246/avigex/injectors2001.gif CHeck under the seat for traces of water to the computer. The MAIN relay always has 12V on one side of its coil, and the other side of coil is grounded at KEY ON by the computer (located lower right side trim panel below the instrument panel, on the passenger side of the vehicle).

Replying to: jhl1 (Apr 17, 2008 6:15 pm) Cam sensor is part of the injection circuit, and has been suggested several times in similar cases, but I can't remember if one came with a definite solution saying that "the cam sensor was the culprit".... It is not clearly documented with this engine, but in my other car, a faulty cam sensor will just cause "random" injection and the car will run anyway, but then , it could give a "running rough" feeling.... But this would pop a code, anyway.... Check al connectors....and another forum member had found broken/shorted wires at the firewall near the computer .

Replying to: trace2001kia (Apr 24, 2008 5:56 pm) Abot you engine "quitting", what is mileage? above 65,000 miles, the timing belt is an almost mandatory maintenance item, and when the belt quits, that's just it: car stays there, and this is a very common occurrence. If you meet or exceed above conditions, pull front timing belt cover and check belt.
