#589 of 606 Re: Now Misfire issues! [keyop] by coreyoso Aug 30, 2009 (7:30 pm)
Replying to: keyop (Aug 30, 2009 5:50 pm) Keyop,   I have had a 95 sportage for 5+ years with no problems ...until 6 months ago it started this sputtering stalling thing and it has gotten worse, dangerous infact.   I saw one reference to changing the PCV valve, that this would fix it. So I decided to change the plugs and plugs.   The engine runs much stronger, but not misfires constantly, which I'm not sure what that is about...   Is yours a constant misfire? We checked and we get spark on all 4 plugs, so I'm thinking fuel injector, but your story scares the hell out of me!   Anyway, look at the PCV valve maybe. Good news, it costs like $5.00 Make sure it has a tight fit, mine was being pulled by the hose and stretched the fitting a bit.   Any Ideas?   Corey Replies to this message: keyop (Aug 31, 2009 3:22 pm)

Replying to: coreyoso (Aug 30, 2009 7:30 pm) Yea I did change out the PVC valve, but that wasnt the problem. I'm taking it to another shop(and paying for my 3rd diagnostic) to find out what the heck is the problem with it misfiring. I'm thinking it maybe the computer. I'll keep ya posted folks.
#591 of 606 Slows driving on uphill by pnarido Sep 15, 2009 (4:38 am)
I have just recently bought a 2004 kia sportage, I have noticed and observed that during driving on uphill the engine can't hold on at 3rd gear it slows down and I am forced to shift to low gear (2nd), however steeping more on its accelerator pedal only the revolution (RPM) indicator increases and the engine power does not increase. Asking for your opinion and help. Thanks

#593 of 606 2007 kia sportage battery replacement by keebler1 Sep 27, 2009 (5:02 pm)
So I went to replace the battery today and discovered the factory battery had no helpful info on it. No stores seem to have any info on this car's battery either. Any suggestions outside of taking it to the dealership?

Replying to: pnarido (Sep 20, 2009 6:08 am) Kia recommends changing the bekt after 100,000 km, and some who did not got stranded in the middle of nowhere...but others went much longer than that. I suggest it has to do with the kind of use the car goes through. IF one revs the engine to 6000 cold all the time on starts, the toll on the belt is much worse than one who run conservatively and never exceeds 4500......Mine just passes 107,000km....and I'm ordering a complete kit on ebay, that comes with gaskets, water pump, idler and tensioner. As I do not expect to run more than 4000km till next summer, I think I'll wait till then.

#598 of 606 Brakes and roters by bethinbr Oct 25, 2009 (9:40 pm)
Hi, I haven't posted for a long time, but now I have a couple of questions. Has anyone had to have new front brake pads and their roters turned on a 05 Sportage with about 40,000 miles on it? Also I have been hearing noises when I brake, hit a bump or turn. It sounds like maybe the shocks but I don't know. These issues have just recently come up and I wanted opinions before I took it to the dealer. I already spent $180 to replace the front brakes and turn the roters.
