2003-2006 Kia Sorento Spark Plug And Valve Cover Gasket Replacement Part 1 Step-By-Step Walkthrough

this is Part 1 out of a 3 part series. I would recommend replacing the rear heater hoses, pcv vavle, spark plugs and valve cover gaskets. I did not Replace any of the intake gaskets they are made out of metal so I re-used my old ones and so far no issues. I would also change the factory clamps and use the screw type. Other than that just replace the coolant that was lost. please remember to like,comment and subscribe. Thanks for watching 👍
Stay tuned for part #2...

This is one of the best videos I have seen in auto mechanic work. Kudos!

[@AlbertMeza]

Holy crap! I will NEVER complain about replacing the spark plugs on my Saturn Ion again!

[@rolando2392]

So after I remove motor and transmission, do I take the wheels and seats off before I can finally change my plugs?

[@tetzuo6039]

Seriously. This is INSANITY. I miss my 2001 Silverado.

[@PotatoeChipz]

This isn't even funny. Came to youtube after looking at my intake manifold on top and about to cry.

[@SynchronousSynapse]

Ughhhh. 30 degrees f right now. Only paid a 100.00. I got the crankshaft bolt broke issue. Fixed that, and was getting ready for the spark plugs. As bad as a Saturn l300 we had....

[@jro53]

.....yes

[@richarddavis4378]

How often do you change your timing belt, book says 40k, do people actually do them at 40k intervals. Seems everything on these is insanely difficult..

[@markjohnson6903]

Great job with all 3 videos Eric! I watched them all (3) several times and then played and paused during the valve cover gasket replacements on my 2004 KIA Sorento. Everything was as you illustrated. Put it all back together and it started right up with no leaks. Hopefully you have some more videos for the 2004 KIA Sorento. Mine has almost 300,000 milkes. Keep on keepin on. Thanks much!

[@build_ourown9253]

Getting ready to do mine right now. Misfiring. When I took the first spark plug coil out, it was submersed in oil. Glad Eric made this video.

[@billcallahan9303]

179,000+ miles on mine. No warranty work, no nothing, same plugs, Same Timing Belt, incredible Sorento 2005. Thank you for video. I do have a valve cover gasket leak.

mine leaks badly. this car has been in the shop dozens of time in its life. a real shitty engine desighn. rest of car is great. 155k on mine

Yes, Its a bad engine design but our 2003 kia has been bulletproof. it currently has 238k

I have a 2003 Kia sorento. Same as vid. Also have a valve cover leak. I paid 800 for the car. It was in rough shape. I added AT-205 to the engine oil. Leaked stopped in 2 days. Dry as a bone!!!!!! Alao good for restoring rubber bushings and hoses!!!! Amazon, ebay, walmart all have it. Order it now!!!

Excellent video! Thanks for posting. I wondered why the garage said they wanted $400 labor to replace just the spark plugs! I now understand why. This is just a time intensive job, but your excellent step by step and the tips you've added will make this cake! Thanks again and please keep making the vids.

[@KrisKYL]

Its an easy spark plug job. Shops wsnt to fool you into thinking they gotta remove the manifold but they dont. They just remove the throttle body which is simple. But if they are replacing the valve gaskets too then its makes sense for them to charge a lot. I saved a lot of money doing the spark plugs by myself.

Truly, Thank You! I don't think people understand the effort it takes to do the job, let alone produce a video at the same time. I've been working on cars for 40 years and boy do I wish videos were available back then. Although, things weren't as complicated, but just the same, always nice to see someone do it first.

[@rivieratalks]

Hi Eric, I'm having problems with my Kia hope you can help. First of all many thanks for the detailed videos they have been very helpful. Unfortunately my Kia is no longer starting and I have no idea what it could be. I started working on the car because a connection for the coolant hoses (back of the engine) was broken and I experienced an unpleasant smell from the engine because the valve cover gaskets were leaking a little bit. So I decided to do all at once including the spark plugs and wires. Once everything was put together the engine won't start and even sometimes backfires whilst trying to start. What I have tried so far: - PCV valve cleaned - Checked ground cables all connected and no oxidation - Disconnect air inlet - Brake cleaner in the air inlet - Verified that air mass sensor looks good / not damaged - Remote control unlock / lock - With a stroboscopic light verified spark plug cables - Battery is charged and new - Gas tank is full - Engine gets fuel - Fuel pump reset - Verified firing order and order of spark plug cables with your guide and Kia official guide - Replaced original spark plug cables - Compression test, all cilinders are between 12 and 13,5 bar - Spark plugs replaced - Placed the old spark plugs back - Verified spark plug gaps (all around 1 mm) - Read out but no faults (not a professional diagnostics computer though) Do you have any ideas what I can do or check? Are there any hidden security features that may require a reset? It's a Kia Sorento 2006, 3.5 V6 Petrol engine

Thorough, clear, professional, detailed, top-notch....subscribed!! Please do a timing belt video. You could literally use this video as a promo to sell future videos. I bought a Timing belt video from Ericthecarguy once. That was years ago, just a thought,, I would buy a video from you in a heartbeat Edit: I just went to your page,, first vid was cat delete for 06 altima 3.5. Coincidentally I was looking to do that earlier this week. I literally just bought a 05 sorento and 05 altima this month

[@ERICSDIYGARAGE]

Wow! Thank you for the motivation! I look up to ericthecarguy and it means a lot! Im planning on keeping the vehicle for 1 or 2 years more and the timing belt will need to be replaced so hopefully i can make one.

Will it still pass emissions testing? Also I have to remove the intake on my wife's Sorento and my Altima to do plugs, PVC valve, compression test, throttle body cleaning, VC gasket... is there anything else you can think of that would be a good idea to replace, clean, or service while I'm in there or anywhere else really?

[@armandoruizdiaz9780]

Thank you so much for these videos! They are really helpful. Now, I just need to ask you a favor: When you tighten the bolts from the manifold, how many feet by pound you need to do it? I need to read the numbers because when I watch the video (which is perfect by the way) I don't understand very well (English is not my native language). Also, I need the numbers of the torque for the covers of the valve. Thank you very much in advance! I'm planning on working on that over the next weekend in my Kia Sorento 2003, so hopefully I'll nail it thanks to all the help I've gotten from your videos! Thanks again!

[@ERICSDIYGARAGE]

thank you i appreciate it! i torqued the intake manifold to 15 ft and as for as the valve cover i torque them to 5ft and than re-torqued them to make sure everything was at 5ft.

Does anyone know the cause of these codes? I had it in to the mechanic and he blamed E10 and changed the plugs but $600 later I had check engine light on 10sec after leaving. I’m just not positive on leads or coils as it is misfiring on all cylinders. I should also mention when the misfires happens the tacho stops working, as soon as the tacho starts working again the engine runs fine. Seems to work ok on first start in morning but after about 10-15min I get tacho/misfires.. any help appreciated.

Felix Ebilane there is a actuator on the lower half on the intake with the butterfly valve they go bad and make noise and they had a recall to change the butterfly screws which can come lose and rattle down and can can running issue and the crank pulley bolt breaks alot and if the tech cant extract it you will need a short block

[@ERICSDIYGARAGE]

gearhead gearheadi heard about the crankshaft bolt but not the butterfly bolts thank you for that info 👍

Will this fix missfire if i change the plugs .?

[@ocesmekanics3831]

Yes it most certainly will.

@@ocesmekanics3831 And another thing my car will crank but wont fire what could be the issue iv put a obd on it i got codes of miss fire and low fuel pressure

[@ocesmekanics3831]

Low fuel pressure usually has to do with a bad fuel pump or bad fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pump is the first to go bad rather than the regulator especially if you let your gas tank more than 1/4 empty before refueling. I will start checking there

[@johnmiller623]

@@ocesmekanics3831 put new fuel pump in still nothing should i need to put more fuel in the tank ?

[@ocesmekanics3831]

If a new fuel pump was installed, then you need to install new spark plugs to see if that is the problem. Also check the spark coils to see if they are working properly. They need to be at a certain voltage to function as they are supposed to. Misfire includes a bad spark plug or faulty ignition coil

Thank you for the video, it was helpful, but for the love of all that is holy please stop saying “go ahead and” it’s maddening when it’s overused. Thank you in advance for internally processing this and externally minimizing it.
