have diagnostics run firstjust ran into this recently and it's still being worked on. from a few mechanics, I've had the following suggestions:

check the timing belt (least likely)check spark plugs (could be misfiring)get the catalytic converter checked, as it could be clogged and preventing your car from exhausting properly

you can get full diagnostics run on it at any dealership, then taken elsewhere for the actual work, as the kia dealership I've had my car serviced at charged me $115 to spray brake fluid cleaner on my rear brakes.

Can you remove a catylitic converter?

Yes you can, but if you don't replace it with another one such as a Magna Flow or a High Flow Cat, you won't pass emissions If You don't care to pass emissions then go ahead. Don't forget to make it look like you have one or you can get a ticket.

How do you replace an AC compressor in a 1999 Kia Sephia?

ANSWER

The compressor is not hard to change, just loosen a belt, some mounting bolts, and a few hoses. The problem, however, is that once you remove the coolant lines, you let air into your a/c system, then it needs to be evacuated and recharged. If you don't, your a/c won't work properly because the air in the lines will cause the compressor to cavitate, and you could ultimately ruin the new compressor, so either way, you should take it to a certified a/c service center.

How do you remove the manual window handle so that you can replace the front door speakers of a 1998 Kia Sephia?

This is a little tricky if you don't know how to do it. The crank is actually on piece of plastic molded. It is held onto the shaft by a keeper that snaps onto the back part of the handle. It is a little trick to get off with standard tools but a flat head screw driver usually work.

Push the plastic door panel back away from the crank you should be able to see the keeper snapped over the plastic part of the crank that goes onto the shaft. The keeper is sort of a circular spring with an opening. Find and flat head screw driver that will part the opening in the spring far enough to slide it off. The crank handle pulls straight off.
