What is causing a large amount of fuel to come of the exhaust of my 2003 Kia Sorento

Hi Steve , didn't check fuses (all ) yet check all wiring touched by you and those connectors re-seated. one injectors is stuck on. it seems.s shorted harness top one. or cam timing completely wrong its not the PCM at all. sure. for sure. the new levers HLA cannot just be thrown in; they are primed first. the service manual covers all that. HLA and cam timing. scan the OBD2 port for DTC errors. this v6 has 3 COP coils and x3 HV park wires that must not be ever mixed up ,must be in proper firing order. to do all that that , the 1st step is pull battery neg lug .or damage can happen or if lucky only fuse blew. next time try to do the job as 4 jobs and start and test engine after each one. timing belt DOHC v6 spark plugs and fuel injectors. HLA from simple to more hard. order,your call your down time. then when it fails the cure is 4 times more easy to know. read the SM yet, per this? super tricky timing, cam locker tools help. kia1-undefined-undefined-0_1.jpg

I need a fuse box schematic for a 2016 Kia Optima-the one under the hood as well as in the lower dash. Having trouble finding one. Thanks!

Is it a fuse box diagram you are after or a wiring diagram? Try this website for the fuse box layout. The optima model changed in 2016 so the earlier version can be selected at the top of the web page. https://fuse-box.info/kia/kia-optima-jf-2016-2018-fuses-and-relay

2004 Kia 3.5L. Where is the EGR Valve located and what does it look like please?

As our Fixya Expert points out, all questions need full 'year make model' as the first 3 words in every question, then there are 10,000 categories to choose from listed by 'make year model' and all the variations. Then some type of background, like why are looking for an EGR that doesn't exist. I have said many times "to get good answers, you have to ask good questions". It is a shame that Anonymous is frustrated and giving up on vehicle questions as he is one of the two best Experts we have. His knowledge is amazing, I know who he is, his writing style is unmistakable. :>)

2006 Kia Rio. My Rio overheated and can't start again.

You would need to replace the radiator, fill with coolant, remove all the air locks, then connect a scan tool and clear all the error codes. If the battery was disconnected you would also have to reset the security and engine immobilizer.

What are the talk torque settings on Kia 2.7 j2 engine cylinder head

I apologize, but I don't have access to specific torque specifications for every engine and vehicle. The torque specifications for the cylinder head bolts on a Kia 2.7L J2 engine may vary depending on the specific model and year of the vehicle. It is crucial to refer to the manufacturer's service manual or consult with a certified Kia mechanic to obtain the correct and up-to-date torque specifications for your particular engine. The service manual will provide the recommended torque values, as well as the specific sequence for tightening the cylinder head bolts. Following the manufacturer's specifications is important to ensure proper sealing and avoid any damage to the engine components.

I have a 2012 Kia Rondo. The cruise control light comes on but when trying to set it, it doesn't work. Is there a fuse that is needing replacement.

Question edited for clarity and better English. The most common reasons a Kia Rondo cruise control isn't working are failed control module, sensor or switch issues, or throttle actuation problems.

I'm trying to replace the alternator but when I went to change it out i realized the bolt holding the tensioner belt has been broke off. I'm trying to find out what size bolt I need.

If you have a Autozone or Oreilly's Auto Parts or NAPA they should be able to get you the proper bolt.

  3. engine bad (sorry we have 10 tests to prove it is good ,using pile of tools.
  4. spark dead cant burn fuel lacking spark good on all 6 cylinders we the them all, and 17 year old spark plugs are never good, ever to full tune up, ? spark and filters?
  5. last is fuel and is last to check and we use a tool called fuel pressure gauge to make sure PSI pressure is at spec cranking any dead engine, BTW, the battery must be kept charged or the PCM goes dead;. with super low battery voltage./ keep it charged using tool with same name.
  6. if spark was good and engine was good test fuel works using a can of (instant start spray) and we spray 3 seconds, and it starts and runs for 3seconds, and repeats over and over until you are happy the engine sounds good 3 seconds at a shot, cam chain not screaming for help,etc,etc.
  7. no engine told and that is first. so we know what it there and its SPECIAL needs. and bad acts. my wild guess USA car? 3.5L V6?
