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 .

If you meet or exceed above conditions, pull front timing belt cover and check belt.

Replying to: jhl1 (May 07, 2008 3:29 am) I know how frustrating working on KIA's can be. They are rather difficult to work on. Just in case you haven't tried already, have you contacted KIA directly for help? I know the dealerships want to charge and arm and a leg, so you might want to try KIA directly. Also, craigslist has been informative for me. I don't know how much luck you will have with your situation, but it might be worth the effort. They make these cars almost impossible for one to work on. I have a 2002 KIA Sportage, and I regret the day I purchased it. It's been nothing but one big headache, and you can't even do simple repairs, like for example, give a tune up because you need a special "tool". I've always had to take it in, even for this simple repair. I wish you luck, and I am sorry this has happened to you. P.S. You may get more takers, if you post on craiglist. It doesn't seem like this website gets as much activity as you would think it would. |
