Kia Sephia

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.

pull up on pass. side consol cover and reach inside / feel for gear lever if you can pull it up a little you can see inside to pry lever with a small tool it should release.

From reading some other posts in another chain , "you push the panel in and remove the clip on the crank..

left side, tucked inside the chassis neer the back tire. about the size of pop can

with the rotary switch on the end of the indicator arm ( right hand side of steering wheel)

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!"

where is the horn for a 1997 kia?

== ==

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.

Usally located in the fuse block. this is normally on the driver side near the floor board. it would help to add the make model and year of vehicle.

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.

removal 1998 kia sephia back seat

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.

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

....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.
