Kia Sportage Rebuild: Misfire Diagnosis

[@far745]

this helps me even after all these year. now my car is fixed without spending money changing the sparkplug and sparkplug cable

[@ducky328i]

my dad has a Sportage with similar sounding misfire issues so I'm definitely interested in this series. love your videos, man!!

[@anitahansley3383]

Thang you!

Great way to do a 'dry' compression test with the compressor fitting. Def a excellent way to determine where the leak is coming from.

[@TheHiddenAgendaMedia]

okay so I'm glad to know if your car has good compression it sounds like a dolphin but if it has back compression it sounds like a dolphin that's been shot perfect thank you sir

[@liamanthony628]

A trick: you can watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@kennethnicholas5938]

@Liam Anthony Definitely, I've been using flixzone for since november myself :D

[@Dtapia63]

I agree, going on the cheap is justified to gain more time to either save for the repair or a new car. Good luck I will be following your progress.

[@bobtpapa]

Hi ... I have a 1997 kia sportage ex 4x4 ... the engine is shaking , light on with codes p1309, p0301, p0137 . We replace spark plugs, coil and change oil ... and still doing that . We didn't do a compression test . The car is runs and drives strong , I don't hear any knoking on the engine , is just the shaking ... Do you have any suggestions pls ... I love your videos!

[@EliasRizk53]

Shaking maybe from air mass sensor

[@markferraro5250]

very good diagnostic 50 thank you

[@TheLoveOfGod-wi7zz]

Hi, I can't find a problem in my car as the mechanic has changed everything in the engine but hey, samething of misfiring still happening... How can I get out into this problem without costing some more money ontop of the money that I have already spent..

[@tranquilityholdings3592]

hello 50skid. i jave a kia sportage 2001 i put in new piston rings as it was it was smoking and had oil on the plugs. but it still doing the same thing. what could be the solution of the problem?

[@BigBand1942]

WOW ....thanks Doc......!

[@gentoolive]

Very educational video, thank you. My first thought was going to a scrap yard and getting a used head to throw on it. Would that not be a good option here?

[@50sKid]

It is an option for sure, however I will manage to find a nicely cost effective solution to the problem in the end. Stay tuned!

[@Vadam10]

Hi I am from Greece and I have the same problem. Missfires at 2nd and fourth cylinder. My mechanic can't find the problem. Do you want to tell me if you want a cheap solution.? Thank you.. Very nice channel.

[@alfredogutembervelasquezsa682]

how much is the correct compression for that engine how many psi

[@yacubrana6791]

thankiu

[@STAY-GOLD-VINYL]

HELP PLEASE. 2001 Kia Sportage lean bank 1. Has newer 02 sensor and Ive checked all the vacuum lines that I could find and can't figure out how to get this code solved. Poor gas mileage, gas fumes and rough idle at times Are there other vacuum lines behind the throttle body or behind head??

[@50sKid]

Get a scan tool that has live data -- I have a video about a foxwell one that has it. You need to view your fuel trims. Look at your fuel trims at idle and compare them to your trims at 3000 RPMs. If the total fuel trim goes down, you have a vacuum leak. If the fuel trim goes up, you have a fuel delivery problem and you'll want to check your fuel pressure and/or you have clogged injectors. Search my channel for my fuel trim videos.

[@STAY-GOLD-VINYL]

50sKid Gee thanks dude. Wasnt expecting a reply due to most channels not usually responding. I appreciate your help and have to get a scan tool. Thanks again sir!!!

[@50sKid]

Chucks Stuff it’s getting really really hard at this point! Can’t respond to as much as I’d like to

[@STAY-GOLD-VINYL]

50sKid haha I can imagine. Its not like KZbins your main gig lol thanks again sir

[@STAY-GOLD-VINYL]

@@50sKid Hey years later but wanted to tell you thank you for helping me with the Sportage. Turned out it was upstream and downstream o2 sensors. NOW ANOTHER ISSUE HAHA about 6 months ago I had an issue where oil had made its way into the spark plug galleys on cylinder 3and4. Replaced valve cover gasket and issue went away. On Tuesday I drove about 100 miles and noticed a strong oil burning exhaust type smell. Just checked my plugs and all of them had a goldish yellow porcelain and strap. Checked compression and found 1. 175 2 167 3 160 4 155 Going to do a leak down test to see if it’s a head issue but could you think of what would cause the oil to be getting back into the plug galley and what could cause this smell. I did notice that I drove with low oil. Just the dipstick tip had oil Yikes

[@petar443]

Could it be valve seals or valve seats?

[@50sKid]

Bad valve stem seals wouldn't cause compression loss. Bad or gunked up valve seats definitely would. Broken valves as well.

[@devinsmith4151]

Junkyard head job.

[@D______]

Kia vehicle engines are known to only last 78,000 miles. This I'm told from a Kia represenative.

[@Wangdoodle444]

Darren P, that’s a lie.

[@Wangdoodle444]

Mine is at 180 k and still working fine. It’s a 2002 Sportage.

[@Wangdoodle444]

The representative is just a disgruntled employee.

[@deanc99]

Mine has 148,000 miles and is running fine. My last Kia went almost 200k before I traded it in. The "Kia representative" is a disgruntled employee, or someone with an axe to grind.

[@earlscheib7754]

78,000 not 77,000 or 79,000 seems like an arbitrary fabricated number.
