Kia Sephia

2 recalls to date, one deals with owners manual peinted wrong with jump starting the car, the other is with the sensor connectors must have a clip adsded to all connectors for intermittent connectivity problems. the only other thing is replace fuel pump and main engine relays in pairs , not a tech bulletin about it but just about everyone knows about this for 1995 thru 2002 sportages.

to replace auto trans - rebuild approx $2500-3000 cdn dollars at independent

try borrowing an OBDII scanner from your local autozone or advance auto(theyll usually test free of charge if they have a test unit) im not sure if the tranny codes can be retrieved using OBDII but if the scanner has the proper module installed with tranny codes it should pull them from the trans computer also

Yes, a 1995 Kia Sephia does have a TCM (trans control module) it's mounted behind the dash between the drivers and passengers leg area. Where the ashtray should be.... Also there is T.S.B.'s on certain modules if you replace the transmission make sure you have the updated TCM installed. If not your transmission will fail.

I really hate to be the one to tell you the bad news but it is possible that you have bent some valves. Take the spark plugs out of the missing cylinders and run a compression check on those two.

well depending on what you mean, if you have no heat at all your thermostat could be stuck, the water pump fins missing, or you have a blockage somewhere try getting it flushed something unplugged doesn not make sense unless you blower motor in unplugged , be a little more specific please

2000 Kia Sephia headlight bulb lamp replacement procedure: Purchase the correct replacement headlight bulb(s) first, before disassembling the vehicle. See sources and related links below for replacement bulb information and full light bulb part numbers list. Then consult your owner's manual for the headlight bulb lamp replacement procedure. As simple as it sounds, the owner's manual is the best place to start for bulb replacement instructions and illustrations. You may want to consider replacing both left and right at the same time in order to keep brightness and color equal (optional).

There is a little white pin in your shifter that could possibly be broken. That happened to my car, sometimes it was hard to shift out of park. That's because the pin wears down and it won't let your key out of the ignition, because the car is not fully in park.

Go to Kia Canada a ad for Kia's will come up, across the top of the page it shows - Kia Owners roll across that and a drop down screen comes up, click on Owners Manual, type in your VIN# hit enter and the owners manual comes up.

Right off it sounds like a component gets too warm and fails, but works cold. Is the engine getting fuel when warm? Does it have spark when warm? Knowing the answers to those questions as well as make, model, year and engine size would help to answer your question.

I had a similar problem with a 1987 Chevy Celebrity. I replaced the ignition module and the crankshaft sensor and it runs fine now.

here comes the bubble buster,,, YOU DONT

My experience is that the solenoid on the starter motor gets stuck and does not move, connecting the started motor to the gear.

Just hit the solenoid body with a mallet or with a hammer with a piece of wood in beteen to avoid damaging the solenoid.

There are no "bad" words, only those that are polite and those that may offend.

If you use curse words in public or in company, it is considered rude. Also, if you use a lot of curse words, it shows that you do not have a very good vocabulary to be able to describe things without cursing -- in other words, you look foolish or uncouth.

not trying to sound smart, but it's under the car just before the muffler on the exhaust system.

Pads or shoes worn out. Take it to a brake place.
