Why won't air come through vents but you can hear the fan running?
Check your filter, if it is clogged it will reduce the air flow to the point you won't feel it.
Check the fan housing, and the ducting for any open areas or unconnected ducting.
usually in the spring but they can hatch anytime in the year its just usually spring.
How do you change rear brakes on 2008 Kia Spectra?
It's been awhile since I did it, so we'll see how many details I can remember. But I recall that it was a fairly simple job.
Jack up the car and remove the wheel.
There should be 2 (maybe 3?) bolts on the caliper assembly that you need to remove so that the caliper assembly can be lifted off the rotor.
Replace the old brake pads with the new ones.
If you've changed brakes on another car before and used a C-clamp to push back the round part that actually squeezes on the brakes (sorry, I don't know what it's called) this one is different. Instead of pushing it back in with a clamp, it screws in. I used a pair of needle nose pliers. Just stick the tips into the 2 indentations and twist clockwise until it has gone back in enough so that the caliper assembly (with new pads) can again fit back over the rotor.
Replace the bolts, replace the wheel, jack the car back down, and pump your brakes real hard a few times.
Hope this helps!
How do you change tail light bulb in 2003 Kia Spectra?
Remove 2 screws under trunk lid, remove panel behind light in trunk, remove 2 nuts from back of light and pull light back to get at bulbs. Kind of ridiculous that you need a screwdriver and a nut driver just to change a bulb.

Hi, I might be wrong but I don't think you will find a distributor cap on any vehicle manufactured in 2003; ie, they would all have electronic ignitions by that time. Ray

it will depend on the miles on the engine. So in theory : NEW : 160 200,000 miles probably 130 to 145 range. mainly what you don't wnat to see is this sinerio: cyl #1 135 cyl #2 115 cyl #3 60 cyl #4 110 this would mean possible leaking head gasket, or if cyl #3 shows 0 then 2 bad valves on cyl #3.hope this helps.

How do you adjust the emergency or parking break on a 2006 Kia Spectra?
You can adjust your parking brake by turning the parking brake adjustment bolt. The parking brake adjustment bolt is located on the parking brake pad assembly.
Be sure the ignition switch is in the "off" position. Move the steering wheel right & left while removing the key - sometimes the steering wheel lock mechanism engages and needs to be manipulated to allow ignition switch into "off" position. Airbag light is a mystery, our Sebring does this also. I have heard that one cause is a faulty airbag fuse - maybe try replacing it. For future reference, if your brake light comes on (mainly while turning) check you brake fluid level.
Can a locksmith replace a car key?
In today's world the method above is slightly outdated. The real answer is; it truly depends on what car you have. If you have a newer model (2005 or higher) you may need a professional locksmith to program the chip to the new car key. If you have an older model you will need a locksmith to look up your key code to make you a new car key. You can call your automobile dealership but they will charge you 5X the amount than anyone or anywhere else. If you have a push start, that can be tricky. BMW, Mercedes and luxury cars may have proprietary car keys so you will need to check with a professional to get an exact answer.
