Replying to: tcolburn (Apr 07, 2008 7:08 am) Tim, Did you get this resolved? What worked? I have the exact same problem. 2002 Kia Sportage rear driver's side electric window will go down with either driver's or pasenger's switch. However, it will not go up. Thanks, Gary
#471 of 610 tune up made it run bad by bgblckfrd99 Feb 08, 2009 (8:44 am)
my 2000 kia was running a little rough spitting and sputtering while taking off. the shop said replace coils wires and plugs, i did that put it all back together and know it runs 50x worse than it ever has. i then put all the old stuff back on and still runs worse then i did every combination of old and new parts still nothing. it is also getting the exhaust from the manifold to the converter red hot. so i took the converter off and put a temp. flex pipe in its place but it all still gets red hot. i am lost, all i did was a basic tune up and know i cant even drive it. any help?

Replying to: bgblckfrd99 (Feb 08, 2009 8:44 am) Red hot exhaust is a sign of lean mixture...in which case you should have the check engine light ON..... is it ? The cause of this ..and possibly of the trouble you wanted to solve , can be a false reading from O2 sensor...there are 2, one just at manifold , the other after the first cat....

Replying to: lmp4 (Feb 08, 2009 5:31 pm) it turned out that i had two plug wires crossed. 3 hours of guess work and a good nights sleep i finally figured it out. thanks
#474 of 610 Kia Sportage California Emission standards? by blanchard01 Feb 09, 2009 (7:34 pm)
Do all Sportage manufactured for US meet or exceed California Emission standards? I am planning to buy a New-08 Sportage FWD 2.0L I4 Auto in Michigan later moving to California in a month. I find good deal here in Michigan.
#475 of 610 HELP MY 2000 SPORTAGE IS MAKING A LOUD WHIRING NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATE by SunnyD65 Feb 17, 2009 (1:29 am)
My 2000 Sportage is making a loud whirring noise when I push on the accelerator it sounds like it is sucking air. I checked the vacuum lines and didn't see any off. It makes the noise in gear and also in neutral. Any ideas? Replies to this message: lmp4 (Feb 17, 2009 6:21 am) SunnyD65 (Feb 17, 2009 4:50 pm)

Replying to: SunnyD65 (Feb 17, 2009 1:29 am) Where do you live? My first idea is about the fan: it is driven through a clutch; it makes a lot of noise as described when it is engaged; normally the clutch would engage only when temp is very hot, usually after idling hot in warm temperatures, and sometimes for a very limited time on a very cold start. Open the hood and check for that first; the clutch might also be blocked: try to rotate the fan by hand (...when engine is stopped, of course.... ) ..it should rotate almost freely.

Replying to: lmp4 (Feb 17, 2009 6:21 am) Thankyou for the tip but it is not the fan. I did not describe the sound correctly. it sounds like air being sucked in (in a big way). Kind of like a vacuum hose is off but louder. The more you push on the accelerator the louder the air sound. When I shift gears the sound gets softer when I push the clutch in but then gets louder once I am in gear. It is really hard to explain. It started about a month ago but it would only make the sound when I was in 4 wheel drive. Then a week ago it happens in 2 wheel drive as well. Help..................

....well I suppose you have already checked for all hoses and tubing related to vacuum or air flow; sometimes the relation between events and apparent interactions is misleading....: timing belt idler/tensioner pulleys have been involved in various noise patterns in the past.....as well as clutch bearings... I'd like the practice of posting "sounds" to be implemented more often as most digital cameras have a sound pickup feature; it generates a sound file that one can easily post...just as this one: starting my SPorty
