Your video is excellent. I was in a jam when I found oil in my plugs. My husband was out of state, and I couldn't really afford the expense of going to a mechanic. Your video is very clear. I did a happy dance when I started my car after putting it all back together. Your video is greatly appreciated.

This video was perfect. I started out with what I though was a plug wire problem - turned out was a bad gasket just like this video (leak was all inside at the plugs, not outside yet) and even though it was still rough after the video made it easy to do this whole repair and then put on a new coil - which, turned out, was my real problem, but the whole thing saved me doing the coil only to come back and do the gasket later. Got it all done in one day instead. Thanks for being so clear, not giving crappy distractive steps, and for filming everything so well!

Fantastic video! Clear explanations, great view angle and thanks for including torque specs. We have 3 of these Sportages one 97 and two 2002s. When I've taken off the air intake tube I've removed the expansion joint on the air filter side only, removed the single bolt holding the resonants chamber leaving the chamber on the tube, left the single electrical connection on the air intake tube, removed the two bolts holding the air intake tube down, removed the three bolts holding the tube to the intake manifold then snaking it all out intact then flipping it 180 and laying it on sufficient rags on top of the battery to avoid contacting the positive post. Use this hint if you like but the video way is perfect.

The leak on the back drivers side of valve cover, is most likelly the o-ring of the Camshaft Position Sensor, is located on the back of the engine next to the firewall. If still leaks check that sensor.

Thanks for the video! Picked up a Sportage just like the one in your video. For some reason the spark plugs were ridiculously difficult to remove... like 2000fp Jimmy Snuka top rope thinking that I'm going to break something hard. Removed them all, and strangely enough, nothing was stripped that I could see. Will be testing her out later today.

Thanks for your video! I have the same Sportage and did the repair after finding a lot of oil in every spark plug well. It's been about a week and I'm finding oil again over spark plug #4, about an inch. Also getting a misfire in that cylinder. What would be the next issue/part to look at? Getting the oil out of the spark plug well made the misfire code go away but if it continues to leak I expect that to come back.
@accidental_relevance6 жыл бұрын
Another common oil leak point would be at the oil cooler beneath the oil filter, if so equipped. The transmission dip-stick working it's way out about an inch is also characteristic of this model. I finally just covered the tube with a rubber cap and put the dip-stick in when I want to check it. I find a ratcheted boxed end more convenient to remove the intake tube. Also the oil will not burn out of tube #4 if the gasket really starts to leak. It will build up and dump oil into the cyl when changing plugs and cause the rubber protector to come out of your plug socket.

The point of the gasket is to seal, so you don't need RTV all the way around it. It's needed in the corners because the gasket has trouble sealing there at all temperatures due to expansion/contraction.

Hey man.. I have a 2000 sportage that has a LOT of gunked oil on the back on the engine, and I can even see that at some point, it dripped down to connectors on the back, like the wire for the O2 sensor, and such.. My mechanic said it's just "sweat", but i see oil around the gasket. There is no oil puddles under the car though, so I don't know if that gunk is old or what. But do you think it's good to change the gasket as prevention? I bought it with 134K and now it has 154K (I've had for a year), and there are NO codes for it. The P0138(I believe) came up, and that will be taken care of it's for the O2 sensor. but nothing else other than that... should i go ahead and chance the gasket? your answer will be very valuable :) great vid!! thanks a lot

Can I use brake cleaner to get rid of the gunk?

Hey ppl. I need help. I just bought a 2000 Kia Sportage. And idle ran a lil rough when you just start it or sitting at stop sign. It would act like its gonna die but wouldn't. Now its worse.Its really hard to start. Takes a long time and u gotta give it gas. Runs real rough and today now I put it n reverse and gave it gas it just bogged down and died. But if I didnt give it any gas it didnt bogg down n it would go slowly, cause I couldnt give it gas or it would bog down n die. Did the same n drive also. But couldnt drive it on the street like that, was too slow. New plugs n it. Set the idle up. Got any ideas??????? Thanks Margie
@50sKid9 жыл бұрын
+margie atkins Well if I were to guess at a direction to go in, I would guess you have a fuel delivery issue. Possibly a bad fuel pump isn't delivering enough fuel, or a clogged fuel filter, clogged fuel return line, etc. But it could be the exact opposite and you could have a lean condition instead. No way to know without more tests and more data. Take a look at my Using Fuel Trims to Diagnose Engine Problems for the real way to diagnose the problem: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anTGqKeXfspomZY

+Tim Beck Check the fuse for the ignition system. It is coil on plug (well one coil per two plugs) so there's 12 volts going to the coil and there should be a fuse for that somewhere. I can't remember if there is a shraeder valve on the fuel rail to allow for testing--if there is you can just press it with a screw driver to see if there is fuel pressure. You're saying the fuel pump vibrates at the tank but are you sure you can HEAR it? In all vehicles the fuel pump turns on when you turn on the ignition and then shuts off after a few seconds. It's very distinctive.

+Dustin Amaral The spark plug rubber boots have a small resister built into the boot. If you peel back the boot from top you'll see it. It looks like a fuse. You can't buy it. I had to buy a new coil just to get that part. use care when removing the plug boots as to not break that resister. Check the grommet where the PCV valve goes in they get brittle & break, again N/A from Kia. That's a oil leak area. The valve cover gasket does get brittle from heat and can leak filling your spark plug hole full of oil which will give you a misfire code.
