Hi Dave Jacobs
where about in the durban area are u?
also have this starting problem on my kia picanto
Hi,there is a common fault on these cars,that is the cranksharft snaps just behind the crank timing gear,this causing the ignition timing to run at minus and thus the car gets spark after petrol has been injected.the car will run rich and also damage the plugs.the pick up sensor can also be faulty.this can all be checked by taking the bottom cover off and checking,except the sensor has to be checked with diagnostis scanner.most likely it is the broken crank.if u in the Durban area I can help you.
where about in the durban area are u? also have a problem with my kia picanto?

Hi, this might be because of a voltage drop on the cables or the battery needing replacement. The colder the weather the more current your starter will braw. You can check for a voltage accross the bateery by connecting a volt meter to the battery and crank it if the voltage drop below 9.6V your battery might need replacement, if not you will need to see what the voltage drop is on the solenoid. You should have battery power on the terminal that activates the solenoid in order to get the solenoid to energise. If you do not have battery voltage on that terminal I suggest putting a relay between the ignition switch and the starter or replacing the wiring harness between the 2. Also check the connection on the ignition switch itself as you can get a bad connection there to.
