#421 of 610 2000 Kia Sportage Hesitating by marykrhodes Oct 12, 2008 (4:52 pm)
Hello, I have a 2000 Kia Sportage that has started hesitating and the check engine light flashes. I took it to autozone and they told me it was multiple misfirings. But no further explanation. Should I have gotten the code numbers from them or does anyone out there know what it could be? I live in IL and would like to get this fixed before it gets too cold. Thank guys!

Replying to: tizzylizliz (Oct 10, 2007 9:05 pm) Hi I have an Sportage 2005 Diesel, and a few months ago I heard a noise under de car only when I drive slow speeds, specially after I change the gears. I went to the dealer and they told me that is a noise from inside the engine an they have to open it to know more about it. But that means an overhaul in a almost new car.... Somebody has the same problem?
#423 of 610 Cam positon sensor by helpmefix Oct 15, 2008 (9:11 pm)
I have a 2001 Kia sportage and my check engine light came on.... had it checked it was the cam position sensor....... I had that fixed, but car is still not working right. It is idling jerky and feels like it is going to die. I have code reader and it still says the cam sensor. Any one have any suggestions of what it could be.

Replying to: mlgarbinsky (Oct 20, 2008 4:00 am) I finally found out that there wasn't a thermostat in it! This caused the temp of the car to cool very fast when i was driving, so somehow this made it downshift into third when it went below a certain temp. I put a new thermostat in and now it runs like new. I can't believe I spent so much time and money trying to fix the transmission when it was a 7 dollar part.
#428 of 610 2001 sportage misfire, lean by pappasteve Nov 05, 2008 (4:11 pm)
I'm trying to help a friend fix his car. It idles rough and the CEL was on. The codes stored were PO171, PO300, PO303, PO304. I cleared the codes and hooked my code scanner. The code PO304 came back fairly soon. I have not checked the fuel pressure yet but plan on it Thur. if not raining. The thing that concerns me is that the short term fuel trim was a positive 25% at idle and might go down to positive 14 at higher rpm's. It never went to zero or a negative number like it should. The long term fuel trim was at zero all the time. The O2 sensor was going up and down some.   Does this sound like a fuel pressure problem or possibly a bad vacumm leak?
#429 of 610 cracked exhaust manifold by bgrolich Nov 08, 2008 (9:20 am)

Replying to: helpmefix (Oct 15, 2008 9:11 pm) I had the same problem. There is a pre-catylitic converter, and a catylitic converter on this Kia. I was told to disconnect the pre-cat from the manifold to see if it is melted inside if so very good chance that you will have to replace both, but try the pre-cat first. I've seen them on ebay for a little less than $200 new. Replies to this message: cowboy97 (Jul 05, 2009 6:26 pm) hfolks (Jul 21, 2009 1:43 pm)
