Replying to: tidester (Dec 25, 2006 12:03 am) Just bought a 97 kia sportage today, and so far seems like great vehicle. One problem. It has a fouled plug and needs new spark plug wires. My hubby and I can't find the plugs and can't get a repair manual for it. Looked on kia.com, but can't find it there either. Can anybody help me out? Would really appricate it.

My kia started idling roughly the other day & the check engine light came on so I went & had it coded at the local parts store. It came back as a misfire in cylinder 3. the guy assured me that it was probably a simple fix either a fouled spark plug or in need on new plug wires. So I want to start with the easy fix first new plugs have done them before on a straight 8 but am unsure how to proceed on this vehicle since the engines in sideways. do I need any special tools besides a plug socket & a gap tool? and can anyone tell me what the gap should be I've looked everywhere & cant find the info thanks

Hi all, my 2000 Sportage has recently developed a peculiar problem, it will only rev as high as 2500 to 3000 RPM's and the power out put is quite low. It will only get up to about 80Km/hr max on a level road in high gear; on an incline it will be less. Now it needed a tune-up for quite sometime now so I got that done at a dealership in Toronto; the guy said that the Exhaust Manifold is cracked near the Oxygen Sensor. We left it at that. . . .Any ideas out there? . . .please help!!!!  jamesy |

| Hi. My Kia Sportage gives me headache nowadays. It was made in 1997. Recently the alarm keeps going off apparently with no reasons at all. For me, it seems to be too sensitive. It started when I took out the cd player for fixing. Then the Kia went mad every night. Got to disengage the battery to make the alarm stop. Now the alarm went off because of funny reasons like i didnt switch off the radio..etc. Can somebody give me explanation on this problem? Thanks a lot. | |

I have read through the previous posts, and found that I seem to have a combination of a few of the differant problems. When you stat the car (01 4x4) it has a high idle, around 2200-2500rpm, will lurch when put into gear and stays high while driving. sometimes you get a check eng light, often you don't. The codes are for MAF and VAF. I replaced the Idle Air Control Valve, and it still does it. While under warranty we had it at the dealers 5 times for the same problem, one time they kept it for a week and replaced the wire harness, claiming bad grounds as the culprit. I was in Iraq and my wife did not know or understand all that they told her. Today it did it again, and this time the Temp gage was going crazy, hot-cold-hot-med-cold-hot. The ironic part, I just paid it off this morning. This problem shows up sporadically, sometimes a week between, sometimes 4 months between. Any suggestions welcome. Chris
