2000 Kia Sephia
-Last night, filled tank in 2000 Sephia with no previous signs of
malfuntion. Drove home and parked it for about an hour. -Upon ignition, engine sputtered, but idled OK. During acceleration, ran very rough. After about three blocks, turned around and drove the trusty Volvo for 20 mile trip instead. -This morning, drove Kia about 2 miles to buy new fuel filter. On the way, noted that sputter occured in mid-throttle. Replaced filter, and restarted. -Let idle for several minutes and increased throttle. Sputtering still occuring. -Car has 52K miles. Bosch plugs and K&N filter only a few months old. What next? |

could be a couple things, did you use the wrong type of gas, different
type of gas, does it smoke now, is the check engine light on. It is really hard to tell with the limited amount of info. it could also be something simple. the easiest thing to try. start the car, pop the hood and open it. listen for a hissing noise coming from around the engine area, and rev the engine, well more like blip the engine, and if the hissing goes away when it revs and then come back when you let go, you might have a vaccum leak. those could be a simple as a hose fell off and you just have to put it back on. hopefully that helps out a little. |
