I had the exact same issue turned out to be the engine coolant temp on the block. That was telling the car it was warm when it was a cold start but the fuel pump was fuelling for a cold start. Fixed the issue instantly.

[@danny-couture]

Honestly Jesse, I can't stress enough just how valuable taking it to the actual Kia main dealers and paying for a diagnostic can be. I have a renault trafic van and it had a problem where it absolutely refused to start when cold. I took it to 4 different garages, 2 of which were apparently renault specialists and nobody could fix it, they all wanted to me to throw tonnes of parts at it. Anyways, one day I got stranded at a local shopping centre, it wouldnt start at all, so I bit the bullet and towed it to my Renault dealer. I kid you not, I had barely gotten home when they rang me and had found the fault! A hair line crack in the cam sensor. nobody else found it but they did instantly. it cost me £80 for the diagnostic and was the best money I had ever spent! I promise you, take it to Kia, its no obligation, you dont have to get them to fix it, but paying their diagnostic fee is worth its weight in gold I promise you.

Hi I am from Kenya 🇰🇪 living in Qatar 🇧🇭. Following up with your Kia problems. I think I can help you with a few tips 1- Bad fuel injector system 2-If water is in the fuel system that often gets trapped in the fuel injector can cause misfire 3- Fuel pressure sensor make sure it's working correctly 4- The low pressure fuel pump that's located in the fuel tank.5- ECU I hope it's help🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@iLouieTube]

Personally alot of the parts youve changed i wouldnt of touched untill right at the end after ive cleaned all the intake, throttle body and idle air control valve, new gaskets, then after a clean, its pcv & plugs if that doesnt work im thinking about o2 sensors and then finally ignition and the coils. Why dont you try taking off the throttle body get yourself a toothbrush and carb spray and scrub the lot, dismantle the idle air control valve and scrub that, i recently removed my throttle body on a 29 year old toyota trueno sprinter gtz done exactly what ive just said, new gaskets put it back together, cold start is miles better an idles like a champ, throttle response is instant to, worth a go cost a fiver for carb cleaner, good luck mate 😂👍🏻

[@da-mazing8500]

I agree. Always worth cleaning the hell out of things. It's worked for me in the past on the throttle body

[@5tevenH]

[@Neil_phoenix]

Hi mate hate to say it but 3rd time I have mentioned removing the back seat and taking a look in the tank at the filter and the fuel, I see you have tried different but the fuel could be contaminated and settling in the filter when left. Please just inspect the fuel mate gota worth a shot. Hope you get it sorted. I know its annoying for you but it makes the series. Keep it up.

[@jasonx2k4jasonx2k4]

@Jesse Collingham Try replacing the Purge Valve (its not the PCV valve), if the Purge Valve is always open then fumes from the fuel tank can enrich the air/fuel mix and cause starting problems, that valve is meant to be closed on cold start and then opens once the car warms up after a few minutes, maybe worth a try ? you should be able to test it by just unplugging the hose that is connected to the valve on a cold start.

[@olie3146]

I commented a few videos back about the fuel filters on these 'gelling' up, personally I think it's a fueling issue at cold, I would fit a new fuel filter, test the fuel pressure on completely cold engine, then retest fuel pressure after it's been run and sat for a little bit

[@johnthestrongguy]

I would bet the engine is clogged up with carbon and needs a engine flush.. GDI engine are even more prone to this and will make the engine misfire..it,s not that expensive to do ..use liquid molly and see..worth a try I think.

[@iLouieTube]

@@johnthestrongguy car runs great it's only on a cold start, if engine was choked up it would run rough, poor acceleration, poor idle when warm, cost a bomb in fuel, this is not the issue, I believe he has a dirty idle air control valve and dirty o2 sensors, when the idle air control valve is not maintained, it causes rough idle, overfuelling, choked up exhaust and causes the o2 sensors to go black, thus giving of terrible readings, its a domino effect.

[@kopzthat]

Jesse, you need to put these videos out. This is your journey and this is why we invested our time watching your journey so keep it up. We’re here watching you. It’s not boring this what happens in life so keep the videos coming.

[@b19dnb]

Hi Jesse, can you check if the software in the ECU for the 2017 car is the same as a 2013. The later car would probably have a GPF which means the fuel trims would be different on start up. May be worth checking lamnda sensors as well because it may over fuel if not reading correct. Best of luck.....

[@gixxernavigator]

The videos aren't about the car anymore mate, it's about YOU, your grit and determination. It may be worth writing down in chronological order everything you've done, then mark when you discovered the engine wasn't correct. Then examine everything prior to that. As you've been working of information based on an original engine. Good luck with it and don't give up.

[@SIMONHOLFORD]

O2 sensors. You have two, the first is to check the air / fuel ratio pre cat and is used to fine tune the fueling. Basically the ECU measures the amount of air entering the throttle bodies and the fuel map determines how much fuel is added ( fuel / air ratio) at different RPM. This map also changes with engine temperature. The way the ECU adds this set amount of fuel is by opening the injectors for a certain amount of time which will be in the right ball park. However it won't be spot on so the O2 sensor let's the ECU know if it went to rich or too lean and by how much. The ECU then makes a note of this adjustment and saves it as a fuel trim I.e. it will add or remove this amount of fuel to correct the mix. So how does this relate to a cold start? Well O2 sensors don't start working until they've warmed up. So on cold start if the car is rich or lean the ECU doesn't know until the O2 warms up and starts monitoring. So given you have the "wrong" engine my theory would be that the fuel map is not right for your engine. So the fueling will be permanently wrong, but also be continuously corrected by the O2 sensors which will mask the issue. But not on a cold start because as above the O2 sensor hasn't kicked in yet.

[@andiwoods4217]

This makes perfect sense! Before you give up J, reach out to a rolling road and get a custom map for the car. This would alleviate some if not Al of the issue as you can program the fuelling manually

[@johnmcgerty9320]

Hi Jesse, been scrolling through comments on last video and seen a KIA tech posted about new and old engine coil pack design aswell as wiring differences. May be worth revisiting that and checking due to you having a newer engine on possibly older wiring. Regards Marcin

[@asiansurf]

Jesse, this never give up attitude for the Kia is why I'm watching your videos! Your aha moment while driving about the fuel quality is actually a good guess. I agree with you that an engine should not function like that and never say that it is normal to misfire. If it is not an ECU firmware bug as some have suggested in the previous video, then you may want to check if there is a fuel tank breather valve for this engine. I have a 1.5L 2015 Mini Cooper that has misfire idling like your KIA but only when hot and is normal when cold. The exact opposite. You may like to check that valve too. Anyway, I'll be disappointed if you decide to give up or just swap it as-is with another. You must have most likely moved on but it would be awesome to know what it really was that had caused the misfire.

[@liamkaizen4785]

Think you might be overlooking the previous video where you figured out the ECU is for the old engine. You’ve already figured out there’s differences in the engine, different plugs for example. So the file for the control over fueling, ignition etc will be different. Would be like dropping a K24 in a K20 car on stock K20 ECU. It isn’t going to run 100% but it would run. Get the car properly tuned to this engine. A proper tuner will also be able to look into fueling and ignition with data logs and see what the fucks actually going on 👍

@@liamkaizen4785 this. Literally this. If it isn't fuelling correctly at cold start (which is usually mapped to run rich initially) it will misfire. I have a strong feeling this will fix the misfire

So I don’t even think getting the ECU from the new engine would even help. This cars probably more of a “Frankenstein” of the 2 engines in one. Hence why he’s got the rad cap etc. So literally I reckon the only way to sort this is a proper custom tune to this specific car, with these specific parts. You know it runs. Drives. Absolutely fine. Just needs a tune I bet 👍

[@thesilentgametestr]

hes been too focused on stressing over things and just making the content that he is overlooking things especially if he answered them himself, but did nothing about. anyways it seems once the car is warmed up the performance and driving isnt effected, so if thats the case the minor misfire like sounds on a cold start is borderline irrelevant. id just not worry about it unless its noticeable on the move.

Jesse don’t give up. People would watch another 10 episodes to see it Get fixed. For me I would say what is wrong with that vehicle is the idle speed start up. Most modern cars don’t start up and tick over straight away. They start up and rev to Like 1000rpm for so many seconds then work Back down to an idle. Maybe be yours has been mapped out. Or look at the air flow meter readings from start up cold and start up warm. It might be calculating the amount of air wrong and over fuelling.

[@slengoslengaw8510]

Don’t give up lad. All the effort has not gone to waste. Just think about all the stuff you learnt going through that struggle. Anyway, something you can try for free, get your diagnostic tool and read all the various temperature sensors on the car when cold. Have a look to see if any look odd or don’t match what is expected. Then turn the car on whilst monitoring each reading to see how it changes. I’m hopeful you would see something. Since the issue happens on cold start, all temperature sensors on the car need checking. Figures crossed you get to the bottom of it.

Jesse, I thought you were onto a winner with the Crank sensor, don't forget there are cam position sensors also... I don't know these engines at all, but maybe look at the VVT system, especially if it uses oil pressure. These systems usually have a way of preventing oil leak off so cam timing won't be all over the place on a cold start. These systems also sometimes have a metal gauze filter also, which could need a clean.

Great work again mate but such a shame. If that was my car it would have been in the river Trent ages ago 👍🏻

[@iloveiPhones1]

On older carbureted engines, it wasn’t unusual for a choke pull off to fail. It would run too rich when it’s cold, but be okay when it’s warm. For newer fuel injected engines, the oxygen sensor has to warm up before it can start working. Until that happens, the computer is running in open loop mode because it isn’t getting any feedback from the 02 sensor yet. It has to operate from a predetermined fuel map to tell it how much fuel the engine actually needs at that moment. It could be off a bit if the engine has some age on it or is running out of tune. Once the sensor warms up enough to start working, then the computer knows exactly how the air/fuel mixture is, and it can make corrections as necessary.

You might check timing, because when you unplug VVT it “fixes” problem. Maybe for the cold start is a little bit off.

2nd you or your gf should review my 307bhp 485nm car for under 3k message if interested and anyone who would like to know what it is like this comment and its not German!!!

[@jamiewilliams5894]

Test drive my 307bhp jaguar xf 307bhp for 3k video

[@JesseCollingham]

I don’t do car reviews mate

​@JesseCollingham surely he has to be trolling

[@Mochiballskekw]

Probably a bot ​@@JesseCollingham

Video is still good content, because it is so honest and has happened ro everyone at some point fixing things. Was looking at hyundais with the same engine having the same problem, the N models seem more common than the kia gt, there are quite a few saying rhat it can be a battery issue, I can't remember if that's been checked.

addicted to this series!

Calvin sold you a proper lemon 😂

Can't believe the crank position sensor was so easily accessible, mine was buried behind starter motor on my astra so had to remove it for access then put blindly in the tiny hole . Was much easier years ago when you just pulled out the choke when first started. Keep persevering don't let it get to you too much. Honestly I have had many issues with my car but think I have finally got there now apart from a strange issue I haven't got to the bottom of yet , hopefully will soon as it drives me nuts although the kids find it amusing

[@lprc7196]

Dude my bet is that the issue is due to it being a direct injection (GDi) engine. The valves and runners are probably caked in carbon due to the injectors not spraying onto them and cleaning them. On direct injection the injectors spray directly into the bore. This (the carbon buildup) is maybe causing incomplete combustion when it’s cold. When you said you could smell fuel it was a lightbulb moment. worth a shot!! I had this issue before on a ford.

[@seanandersen5752]

He should have looked at the valves/ports when he had the inlet off, the pcv fail and cause problems with these plus GDI suffer low speed pre ignition you even need to run a specific oil that helps with lspi. This has all been covered in the comments on his other vids

[@Dadsbroke10]

Before you give up, you should try a terraclean, TerraClean can help fix a cold start misfire: Cleans inlet valves TerraClean can clean the inlet valves and ports of manifold injection engines, which can help with cold start misfires. Improves fuel pressure TerraClean cleans the injection system and fuel pressure regulator, which can improve fuel pressure and timing. Reduces carbon TerraClean uses a special fuel that's given a negative electrical charge, which breaks down the molecular structure of the fuel and turns carbon into carbon dioxide. This can clean the combustion chambers, exhaust, and sensors. TerraClean is a patented technology that cleans the inside of a vehicle's fuel system. It can also help improve engine performance, reduce emissions, and increase component lifespan.

[@jonwill-dz8zb]

You said in your video that you have had the cold start mapped out. Surely it needs it there to increase the revs and supply more fuel when the car is cold. I can totally understand why you’re getting flustered with this car. As someone in the motor trade cars like this are part of the job sometimes. Keep the faith and you will get there.

[@zunaids32]

Man, I’m hoping you don’t stop now. Been following you since the swap with the Pug. Love the content. Trust me I felt your pain each time you hit a dead end but I’m being hopeful there’s light at the end of the tunnel. ( please don’t take too long for next vid )

[@johnmcgerty9320]

It could also be as you said , it’s a normal cold start up thing 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@In_memory_of_Dad]

Idle control valve Jesse, we've had the same problem on a few Hyundai models!!!

[@usemoreoil]

Been a while since I watched you,but loving this new style , sounds a lot more grown up,, subbed

[@b.1321c]

Jesse i know you have probably checked these things but definitely consider possibly a slight coolant leak into the cylinders when sitting and obviously when you start up from cold start it burns off the small amount, also possibly even a fuel pump issue, if not enough fuel on cold start obviously will misfire, just sounds stupid simple but could possibly be something to check if it is going to save some money or even the car.

[@benjaminburton5308]

I would look down the route of maf/ map sensor buddy well worth a try

[@birdcrazy329]

Aaah man i genuinely feel gutted for you there is nothing worse when the hopes are high then the problem is still there im so hoping the next video it’s all sorted and on to the next car … good luck bro you got this !!

[@Tom_Machin]

Hi Jesse, I’m sure you have had so many comments already regarding the issue in my opinion this is a fuelling issue a misfire on startup while cold due to a dump of fuel on cold start so it’s struggling to burn the fuel hence the misfire and the very black spark plugs you pulled out. Also the mention that you could smell fuel bad on one start up once it’s warm it’s managing to burn that excess without the obvious burble. But… not sure where this would come from as you’ve done injectors already. But keep up the good videos man love seeing them I was chasing a misfire on my car for weeks and was just a vacuum leak in the end

[@MatthewDuffin-u1w]

Jessie your Kia seed with it having a miss fire could it be your exhaust under neath your car might have a whole in the exhaust might be causing the miss fire or it might be a faulty starting motor

[@chrisirish9331]

Get decent coilpacks, i swapped mine for Lucas 2 years ago , with ngk heat range 7 plugs and it runs sweet

[@Wooioi]

I get the self criticism and that shows who you are as a person but honestly don’t beat yourself up about it. I don’t think people watch your channel for a fix every video. You are very entertaining and again this shows how REAL repairing a car on your driveway can be. A lot of good comments on this video regarding things you could do next. Alternatively you could run it until it’s warm and drop it to WBAC😂

[@sdmack7162]

we're rooting for you Jesse! keep going

[@pauledwards7544]

How about getting all the pipe work for the updated engine, you did say the expansion tank is different and one pipe did have a bolt in it, maybe a picture of the old engine and the new engine and see what’s different, could be a breather pipe for the air filter or a connector not connected, even the wiring loom could be slightly different, something so simple you have just overlooked, really enjoying the videos, keep up the good work you do.

[@VauxrezNeil]

Hi Jesse, as a life long Vauxhall enthusiast I started watching you with the £150 Astra and now can't stop, nothing at all boring about your videos mate. The cooloing system obviously isn't correct for the engine fitted, might be worth changing the header tank and pipe with the filler cap on it, and connecting that blanked off pipe, are there any additional temp sensors in the correct pipework, are they in the same locations and the same type if nothing else it would help my OCD no end, couldn't live with that bolt in the coolant pipe lol, keep up the good work mate
