#531 of 607 Steam coming from under the hood? Why by Jokeryona Apr 03, 2009 (10:24 pm)
I have noticed a couple times when I am stopped at a red light or somewhere I stay still that once and a while steam comes out from under my hood. I thought it might be a leak but I have checked and found nothing. I did have a leak before about a month and a hlf ago and some of the radiator fluid spilled out onto other parts of the vehicle. But ever since it was fixed I have had no signs of leaks. Also the temperature was cool enough to see your breath and the exhaust coming from vehicles ahead of me.  Is there another possibility. Its a 2000 Sportage Replies to this message: tidester (Apr 04, 2009 12:03 am) Jokeryona (Apr 04, 2009 3:40 am) tidester (Apr 04, 2009 12:17 pm)

Replying to: tidester (Apr 04, 2009 12:03 am) Slightly, I thought maybe tires might have been kicking water up, but I had been in a drive thru when it happened most recently and it didnt do it at first or not noticeably until I had been there for a few minutes. My belt got squeaky when it happened and after I drove off it stopped when I came to the next red light. Replies to this message: tidester (Apr 04, 2009 12:17 pm)

Replying to: Jokeryona (Apr 04, 2009 3:40 am) If there is nothing leaking and you're seeing vapor then it's likely being caused by water from an external source coming in contact with the hot engine. Have you examined the engine compartment for signs of water accumulation?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
#535 of 607 2002 KIA Sportage surging and dying by kiadummie Apr 13, 2009 (1:59 pm)
Since Oct of 2008 I have been trying to solve this problem. A buzzing noise starts in the area of the transmission and starts surging while decelerating or accelerating. If I do nothing it will eventually die but has always started up again. I have had the engine and transmission computer changed out. Still did it. Replace the switch relay. Same thing. Anyone had a similar experience and how did you fix it. Run it off a cliff?

#538 of 607 Kia Sportage 1998 Fuel Pump dead by gjan Apr 24, 2009 (4:40 pm)
My 1998 Kia Sportage fule pump will not run. The pump tests ok out of the car, the relays have been replaced, but the pump doesn't run. Any idea what to look for next? Replies to this message: tidester (Apr 24, 2009 5:56 pm) gjan (Apr 25, 2009 1:43 pm) tidester (Apr 25, 2009 5:25 pm) and 4 more...

Replying to: gjan (Apr 24, 2009 4:40 pm) Have you test whether power is getting to the pump when it's in the car?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: gjan (Apr 25, 2009 1:43 pm) tidester (Apr 25, 2009 5:25 pm) gjan (Apr 26, 2009 5:55 am) and 3 more...

Replying to: tidester (Apr 24, 2009 5:56 pm) Yup it's not. I tested at the under-hood fuse box where the fuel pump relay is. The fuel pump relay port only shows power on one terminal always. Nothing showing on others when key turned on or cranking.
