Asked by Wiki User

remove timing cover, on the left cam sprocket(closer to inside of vehicle) you will see the letter (I)for intake and a notch above it on the valve cover align those marks.Next on the right cam sprocket you will see the letter (E) for exhaust and a notch above it on the valve cover align those marks.Last you have a notch on your crank sprocket, align that notch with the arrow just above it.Align all marks then turn belt to revolutions and see if marks are stilled aligned if not try again until you get it right.If so put everything back together and "happy driving!"

Have 2001 kia sephia check engine light is on my scantool found 2 trouble codes P1624 manufacturer controlled computer output circuit and P0743 torque converter clutch solenoid circuit elelctrical.?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes this code requires the tranny man . The explanation is this:

there is a speed sensor buried inside the tranny called input/turbine speed sensor that sends speed signals to the computer.Over a period of time metal shavings build up to the magnetic head and eventually clog the sensor up so bad it cannot send out accurate readings causing a pending po715 code.(are still with me so far). then this continues until the same metal shavings start clogging up other magnetic solenoids,like the torque converter clutch solenoid,until it starts sticking sending a po743 code.Sooooo, to fix this problem $1200.00 to $1800.00 is not an uncommon price to rebuild the tranny.Not what you wanted to read but that's what happens.

remember years ago when transmission shops would say change tranny oil and filer every 15,000 miles.This is never so much MORE true today with the introduction of digital components inside the tranny and magnetic sensors /solenoids.hope this explanation helps.

Should be 12 volts, check the fuel pump relay and clean the ground wire to the fuel pump. In fact clean all the ground connections on the vehicle.

If you have a Kia what happens if you over fill with gas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is a recall on some part of the gas fueling area... I forget the exact name, but if you put too much gas into it (at least the 1998 model) the gas will spew back out. I never turned my Kia in for the recall, so I got around this by not overfilling the tank.

Where are the spark plugs located on a '99 Kia Sephia?

Asked by Wiki User

On top of engine you will see a black colored plate with KIA DOHC 16 V printed into it. This plate is secured by six (6) phillip head screws. Remove screws and lift off plate. You will see two (2) plug wires and two (2)ignitor blocks. Carefully remove plug wires as you would any other, Ignitor blocks are secured by two(2)screws. BE VERY CAREFULL removing wires and blocks as the sparkplugs are recessed about three (3) inches into the block. Use only NGK brand plugs as Autolite and champion will only work well for ashort period if at all. I know from experiance. It is recommended to replace plugwires every 30,000 miles when you change plugs. Plugwires from aKIA dealer will cost you about $20.00 each. The ignitor blocks will run about $75.00 each, but only if they need replacing. Go to http://www.kia101.com/Spark%20plug%20wire%20coil%20pg1.htm

How do you replace 95 Kia Sephia heater core?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

....Well... as I have just found out.......you have to pull apart the whole dash... unscrew the steering wheel from the frame... take out the frame underneath the dash.... and then unscrew the heater side of the heater/ A/C unit. Then it comes out pretty easily. I just did it and it took me about an hour. The problem I have now is that I need to find a heater core... which has been a problem. I'm hoping that I can find one at the junk yard that will fit in my car...... and isn't damaged. I hope that helped.

How do you replace a positive battery cable on a 2000 Chevy blazer and where can you obtain the cable other than the dealer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You Will Need To Get The Cable From A Dealer. If The Cable Is Burned Into Ect. It Will Need To Be Replaced. If The Cable End Is Bad You Can Try This. Purchase a New Cable End. Yours Probably Has Two Smaller Cables In The Wire Also Besides The Regular One. On The Cable End You Get Also Get One Or Two ( as needed ) Heavy Duty Cable Eyletts That Fit The Bolts That Tighten The Large Cable To The Terminal End. Put The Small Cables On each Side Of The Bolts That Clamp This Down, Tighten It All Down. Should Work OK. I Have Done This Often. If You Do It This Way. You Will Need To Check These Connections Every 3 Months Or So To Be Sure They Are OK.

How do you stop the squeaking noise from ac compressor on a 2000 kia sephia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You should check the belt. My Sephia was doing the samething and when I looked at the belt...it was worn and needed replacement. If it isn't the belt, the clutch on the compressor could be slipping and may need replacing as well. I would first check the belt..if it looks dry, you can get some belt dressing from any auto store. If the belt looks like it can be replaced I would do so. Hope this helps you. the pumps ceap ouyt on these cars i would take the belt off and call it a day or just cut it off
