the starter is on the side of engine between engine and firewall of car on driverside

oh boy! You and I are in the same boat! lol I have a 2000 Kia Sephia and it is notorious for problems! Check wire harnesses leading to starter, and have mechanic check ignition/spark plugs... especially if it running/idling rough. Had the same problem with the same make and model. I'm not sure exactly what caused the problem but it only happens when the gas tank gets low. If I keep a half a tank of gas I don't have the problem.

Loosen of the bleeding nipple, now tighten it back a little. pit a plastic tube over the nipple and hang the end of the tube into a container that has some fluid in it just to stop air from being sucked up it. Loosen of the nipple. Make sure the master is full and gently pump the fluid through, all the time making sure that the master cylinder does not empty. when no more bubbles are coming through the tube fasten the bleeding nipple and the clutch should be working after a couple of more pumps.

When you open door and look down to where your foot pedals are, look to the left and you will see the plastic trim around foot well, you will then see a pull out section of plastic trim, when you remove this panel cover you will find the fuses, on the backside of the plastic cover it will tell you which fuse is for which part of electrics. Hope this helps.

First roll the window down. Then take the door panel off of the inside of the door. There should be two or three screws along the bottom of the panel, and one in the grip. You'll also need to remove the window crank if you don't have power windows. Now, once you have all the screws out and the crank off, pull straight up on the door panel, because there are clips at window sill that hold the top of the panel on. When you have the panel completely off, there should be a piece of plastic glued over the inside of the door. That's a moisture barrier. Roll the window back up. Pull the top left of the barrier far enough down to fit your hand up to the handle. There are two nuts on each side of the top of the handle. Remove these. also, you'll need to remove the lock rod and latch rod. there are plastic clips that hold these on. Unclip them from the rod and rotate the clips, and the rod should slide out. Then pull the bottom of the outside of the door handle out, and slide it down a little to allow the studs to clear the holes. You have now removed the door handle.

check under the driver side dash or under the hood on the driver side and there will be a fuse blown. It would be best to hook the ground of a test light to the frame of your car and turn the switch on to check every fuse by touching the metal inserts on each one of them.

Compressor lubricant is mixed in with the freon and will enter the system when it is recharged

You'll have to take the dash loos and all the electrical wireing then remove the dash from the vehicle. From there you'll have a brace over the block holding the heater core in place. Remove the brace and screws from the top cover, slide the core out and replace in reverse steps.

As the original poster I would like to say thank you to the answerer who responded in a variation of this question. @8^) If you look under the plastic lever you will see a copper colored bar that runs parallel to the handle insert a small flat bladed screwdriver and gently push the bar towards the dash when you do that the door will open. There are two Phillips screws holding the latch mechanism the best way to unscrew them is to either use a stubby screwdriver or a 1/4" ratchet with a socket to fit a screwdriver bit. The new part can be ordered for about fifteen dollars at the local dealer.

The easiest way to replace the radiator is to first drain it. The drain plug is located on the bottom left hand corner of the radiator. when you are facing the car. Next remove the fanz should be 2 if you have ac. To access the bolts easily remove the intake. Should be 10mm screws. The harnesses for the fans are located near the headlights respectively. Right fan near right headlight. HEres the tricky part if you want the work to go buy extremely fast you should remove the bumper skirt and bumper. Then you remove the front support beam that will hold the latch to the hood, the horn is attached to it. Once that's done disconnect the remaing hoses and remove. IF you don't want to take the bumper off just remove all hoses and the fans like stated above. anpull out radiator you will have to play with it a little but it will slide out. Its a fairly simple job.

it will depend on the miles on the engine. So in theory : NEW : 160 200,000 miles probably 130 to 145 range. mainly what you don't wnat to see is this sinerio: cyl #1 135 cyl #2 115 cyl #3 60 cyl #4 110 this would mean possible leaking head gasket, or if cyl #3 shows 0 then 2 bad valves on cyl #3.hope this helps.

MAKE sure that is the problem.If heater is blowing cold air,reach on passenger side,under dash,and find the heater blower,and gently pull the white plastic piece to make sure it is not stuck on cold.They go from hot to cold easily but not back to heat.

They are usually located either behind the dash on the passenger side or under the passenger seat. Best bet is just call a dealership and ask someone in the service dept before you go pulling the car apart

More than likely DOT3. The correct fluid is listed in your owner's manual and on the top of the master cylinder cap.

In most vehicles you disconnect the negative battery cable, remove the belt that drives the alternator, disconnect the wires/plugs attached the alternator, remove mounting bolts and nuts then remove the alternator. Install in reverse order.
