This is a HUGE online repair manual. I was very impressed, overlooking some translation errors.

If it is anything like the 97 it will be inside a rectangle shaped box near the batter on the right side of the engine. You should see a hose or tube coming from the main engine to the box. Cant miss it really.

Here it is.

There is a bleeder nut/valve (8mm) on the master slave which is located on the front of the transmission you'll need 2 people have some one press all the way down on the clutch and have the other person open and close the valve and keep doing it only keep the valve open for a second though until all the air is out but keep watching the fluid reservoir and keep it above "Min" on it bleed all the air out then tighten up the valve fairly snug and your set

1. Start with the removal of the coil packs and plugs. 2. Next remove the valve cover. 3. Remove upper timing cover. You may need to remove the motor mount assembly also. 4. Remove exhaust manifold from engine. This includes separating manifold from the downtube on your exhaust. Note..manifold will be easy to remove once the head comes off. 5. Unplug any electrical connections attached to the head 6. Remove upper radiator hose from the thermostat 7. Reomve the fuel rail from the intake 8. Remove the intake. Removal of the fuel rail makes it easier to get to the intake bolts. 9. Remove camshaft pulleys. Use paint to mark the belt and pulleys with a line. This will help align your pulleys when you re-assemble 10. Remove the eight head bolts. These are tight!! 11. Now your head comes off Total average time is approximately 4 hours This is an involved project and you need above average mechanical skills. Be sure you have all the torque settings and head bolt pattern before starting

THERE IS NO CARB. ON A SEPHIA. YOU CAN CALL ANY JUNK YARD AND THEY COULD PROBABLY GET YOU ONE FOR AROUND 50. IT CALLED A THROTTLE BODY ASSY.

Unplug your battery for a half hour.

The Kia Sephia was made by the South Korean automaker Kia Motors and released in the late September in mid 1992 and continued in production till 2003, when the Sephia was discontinued.

check the parralellism of the pulleys in relation to each other. sometimes if car has been in accident a pull is bent or off center causing premature wear on belts.also check to see if the misalignment may have been caused by a past replacement of a water pump and someone has got the spacers wrong at the bolts again putting the pulleys off center to each other.

DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY LEAD AND WAIT 1-3 MINUTES THIS WILL RESET THE COMPUTER THAT REGULATES THE IDIOT LIGHTS

The cylinder head may be cracked between cylinders 2 and 3 or there may be a "low" spot between those two cylnders, did you have the cylinder head checked out and resurfaced while you had it off? It's always best to take the cylinder head to an automotive machine shop for a leak test, resurfacing, and a valve job while it is off.

You cant fix them. You either have to get one from the dealer ($60) or from a junk yard ($20). Mine went out two months ago and my passenger side is about to go as well.

I have a 1996 Kia Sephia. The calipers are the same stock # on the 1995 model.

You need a Hex Bit Socket. Size : 7 MM

Hope that helps. TC

When replacing the spark plugs it is important to know the size of the gap. The spark plug gaps on a 2000 Kia Sephia is .044 inches.

Goto www.kia.com Under KIA'S OWNER section there is a COMPLETE technical manual, for free. Just register and you will get all kinds of repair information.

The wheel torque setting is 76

You will have to unscrew a plate that is on top of the engine to expose the wires. After myou take the plate off of the top of the engin you need to trace the wires but rember under the plate is your 2 coil packs so do not pull on those wires....

fire my anus up

It's more than likely your front brakes and the sound is reverberating thru the car look at the rotors on front and feel them and see if they are ruff and grooved if so you need to do a brake job as for the warning light that will not come on unless it's low on fluid or the abs senses a problem.

towards the front of the car, away from the interior of the car, on the passenger side, there's a yellow loop handle, should have words "engine oil" actually printed on it

Are You Speaking Of More Than One Plug ? Is The Cylinder It Came From Misfiring ? It Is True You Could Have Bad Oil Rings On The Piston, Also Bad Valve Steam Oil Seals Will Cause This. And A Dead Plug Will Show Oil On It. If You Have Installed a New Set And It Runs OK. I Would Let It Ride. If You Need To Know More Have A Compression Check Ran On Your Engine. This Will Provide Some More Information On The Rings. Resubmit Question With More Information If Need Be Good Luck Also could be a leaking valve cover leaking oil into the spark plug galley.

A likely cause is the battery it might need to be replaced or fixed due to faulty wiring also it may come from the transmission as well
