Kia Spectra

If the monitor has the location of the tire that is sending the low signal, you check the tire pressure on that tire. If it does not have a location light, you check them all. If they are all ok according to the pressure that is listed on the inside door frame sticker or the sidewall, then you should take the car to a shop that has a diagnostic reader that can talk to the tire sensors and see if one of them is bad or the battery on one of them is going dead. This is not free to have done by the way.

If it's anything like my sisters rio, it's tire pressure.

there are some vehicles that you can not change the fluid.the transmition comes sealed. check your owners manual or go to www.autozone.com that has got to be the most ridiculous thing i have ever read, of course you can change the fluid in any car, there is a drain plug the dipstick for the sephia is just to the left of the fuse box kind of hiding down there probably has a yellow dot on it or maybe its faded but you cant miss it, as for adding fluid, as soon as you find the dip stick you mus firt let the engine warm to normal temperature and check it first then if its low find yourself a skinny funnel and stick in in the tube, add as much as you need i usually go right to the top notch

It sounds to me like an anti theft device; alarm or fuel cut off.

Find out with the previous owner if you can

where is the radiator drain plug on a kia spectra

Most constant velocity (CV) axles are pretty much the same. A driveshaft on each side of the transaxle, with a short one on the driver's side, and a longer one on the passenger side feeding into the front wheels. Each CV axle has two universal type joints at each end. Some are ball bearing type as on a VW or a cross type as found on many standard drive shafts used on rearwheel drives and four wheel drives. Each of the four joints should be hidden with a rubber boot to protect from contaminants. Dirt and sand are the worst.

To check a CV, place the vehicle securely on stands, and remove the front wheels. Hold the wheel hub and turn the shaft. No play should be felt. Repeat for the transaxle end. There will be play pulling towards the hub, and trans. this is not a problem. Broken boots and rattling upon cornering are a dead giveaway of CV problems.

Since you asked this question, I would recommend an accomplished dealer or mechanic if you suspect problems.

The right (Passenger) side headlight is easy to replace. Move the retaining spring wire to the side remove the bulb to the rear and replace with a new 9003/HB2/H4 bulb available at all auto parts stores for about $7. DO NOT TOUCH the new bulb as the oil from your hands will reduce the bulb life significantly. Use a pair of thin rubber gloves.

The problem with the spectra5 is the Left (Drivers) side headlight. You will need a screwdriver to remove a cover plate next to the battery. You will find the bulb under the plate. With a little effort and arm twisting you will feel the same retaining spring as on the right side. Follow the same procedure as before. Hope this helps.

I timing chain rarely needs replacing. A timing belt needs to be replaced at the interval specified in your owner's manual. Don't have one, get one.

One or more spark plug wires could be going bad. The porceline insulator on a spark plug could be cracked.

weight - take out any weight you dont need

tire pressure - if tires are low fill them around 30-32 psi

spark plugs - if dirty or corroded, change them

gas - try using a higher octane gas

air filter - if its dirty replace it

oxygen sensors - if they are bad the ecu has a preset air/fuel range reguardless of speed

oil - if its old or sludgy replace it with better oil (10w-30 synthetic)

tires - if you put smaller tires on, other than the factory ***bigger tires are ok

Auto or stick? Stick, it's probably a problem with the clutch or pilot bushing/bearing. Auto, it's probably a problem with the linkage.

the 10 mm adjuster nut that is adjacently placed to the right of the handbrake lever. but removal of the center console is required. keep the center console off until all final adjustments are made.

someone tried to start the car with a screwdriver and now the key doesnt go in to start

Could need something as little as a recharge. I would first check to see if the belt powering the A/C compressor is in good shape, next I would check the fuse. When you turn the a/c on you should see the compressor cycling. If all these are fine I would simply take it to a mechanic and have it recharged

this question has been answered in several areas with kia autos, try 2000 kia sporatage timing belt etc.

It means:

(tcs) traction control system, which is enable the computer to control the wheels from slipping into wet roads or from snow.

Fuel Tank Capacity: 14.00 gal.

It is in the front center in front of the condensor. Circular shape, one bolt to radiator mount.

Open the hood. On the left side (drivers) there is a black box. Remove the cover and you will find relays and fuses. The cover should have a diagram showing which fuse is for what circut.

2 STEP PROCESS: 1. TAKE FOG LIGHT BULB OUT. 2. REPEAT STEP ONE(1) IN REVERSE
