#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.

Replying to: gjan (Apr 25, 2009 1:43 pm) That suggests there is a problem with the pump's electrical connections. Does yours have some kind of electrical plug?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: gjan (Apr 26, 2009 5:55 am) tidester (Apr 26, 2009 10:15 am) lmp4 (Apr 26, 2009 3:22 pm)

Replying to: tidester (Apr 25, 2009 5:25 pm) Not sure where you're going...I ran the relay test described elsewhere at Edmunds, and found that, since the only place I have power to the relays is the constant power terminal, no other terminal has power at key position "On" or ignition, that the indication would be that the failure is someplace between battery and relay. All fuses are good, so I'm wondering: Do any sensors have the potential to block power to the relay through their own failure? Or is the main computer bad? Or a bad ground somewhere? All other electrical functions work. Which is more likely? Replies to this message: tidester (Apr 26, 2009 10:15 am) lmp4 (Apr 26, 2009 3:22 pm)

Replying to: gjan (Apr 26, 2009 5:55 am) Not sure where you're going...   Me neither! But you said the pump functions correctly when removed and the battery/relays are okay so I'm wondering whether all the connections are good. Regarding sensor or electronic control modules being at fault, I suppose that's possible. Perhaps someone with hands on experience would care to jump in and offer some advice. Anyone?   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
