Your key is stuck in the ignition of a 2002 325 ci BMW how do you get it out?
If the key is stuck in the off position, try pulling straight up with pliers. Do not bend or twist the key as it may break. If the key is stuck in the on position you will probably need to replace the key barrel. There are little tabs sticking out inside the barrel and the knotches on the key clear them when you turn the key. They are spring loaded and if the spring breaks or gets jammed, it will lock up the key. I have overcome the spring as mentioned with pliers. But you must be careful as the barrel could be up to about a hundred dollars and the key is another up to fifty bucks itself. If you break it, added costs. If you give the dealer your VIN number, they will order a barrel that matches your key.
Good Luck!
Sometimes a hard turn of the steering wheel will unlock the wheel and you'll be able to remove the key. I had to try this several times. It took 5-10 minutes. Breathe deeply and stay patient.
How do you replace windshield on a 2002 Kia Spectra?
It could possibly be a bad vacuum line connection. some cars use a vacuum powered motor to divert the air to different vents when you select them on the climate controls. With the car running, open the hood and listen for any hissing noises, like leaking air.If you dont find any leaks there, and you don't hear a hissing inside the car, you may possibly have bad ductwork in your car. if you find a vacuum leak,either replace the hose, or sometimes it iis as simple as pushing the hose back onto a fitting.

What is a martingale simple random walk?
Martingale's simple random walk is an algorithm pertaining to the wager system, in which one assumes the course of doubling one's wager in reaction to a win or halves one's wager in reaction to a loss.
So the formula:
( Xn+1 | X0 , ... , Xn )
In this it is supposed that the random variates have a finite constraint (or this equation does not hold up to infinite purposes).

Key stuck in ignition on your 406 Help please?
just had the same problem and it seams that it is the ignition switch behind the barrel but i am trying to find someone who knows where the relese pin is and in which position the key has to be in
There is no specific position where the key has to be.... It all happens when you switch off the car in turning position of the wheel. When ever you feel you are trying to ignit switch and looks like, it is lock or you are unalble to turn the switch on.... only turn your wheel and try again. That's it. Your key will be released enabling you to turn the key in order to ingnition...
Is this in a Ford? LOL have to take column apart and replace the ignition tumbler assy

Does a 2003 Kia Spectra have a timing belt?
Yes, and it must be replaced every 105,000 miles. Warning: This is an interference engine, and as such if the belt breaks you will have severe engine damage.
How do you fix a Chassis Acceleration Sensor Signal Malfunction on a 2003 Kia Spectra?
You can try to replace it. If you have a book on your car, look for a picture of it. You can find it pretty easily in a junk yard if you know where to look. If you have already replaced it, try having the check engine light cleared. If it comes back on, or still reads that error even after replacing the sensor, it may be a bigger problem. It could be in the wiring system or even the computer. Try to replace it first. Instructions will be in the book, and all it involves is unplugging the old sensor and removing two bolts. Installation of the replacement is the reverse.
Where do you find the daytime running light module on a 2007 Kia Spectra?

Where is the PCV Valve located on a 2006 KIA Spectra 5?
1. Remove the 4 screws that hold the large plastic engine cover in place. Remove the plastic cover.
2. Looking at the engine from the front (driver's seat will be to your right) you will note the 4 plug wires at the top of the engine. Looking almost directly behind the plug wire on the right, you will notice a BLACK S-SHAPED HOSE running horizontally from the main engine block backwards to the silver colored aluminum breather box at the rear of the engine compartment.
3. YOU WIL NOT IMMEDIATELY see the PCV Valve because it is hidden from view by being wrapped in a 1 inch spongey black rubber fitting on one end of the S-shaped hose mentioned in step 2.
4. Using pliers, compress the clamp and pull loose the S shaped hose.
5. Now use a screw driver to pry off the 1 inch spongey black rubber cover off of the hidden PCV Valve.
6. Once the spongey rubber wrapping is removed, there sits your PCV Valve!!!
It took me several phone calls, and two hours of frustration to figure this out. Hopefully, this helps someone.

How do you compress brake caliper piston for 2005 Kia Spectra?
You need a special brake piston tool to do this. Here is a link that shows what this tool looks like: http://www.lislecorp.com/tool_detail.cfm?detail=416
Basically, you put this on the end of a 3/8 inch drive, then use the side of the tool where the pins match your brake piston. Engage the pins from the tools into the piston slots, press in and turn clockwise. It will take a lot of turns to move it back in the bore.
