KIA K2900 won't go into 1st, 3rd and 5th gear

. If the box has been performing as expected and this has just started ( manual box ) I would be checking the gear selector either on the side of the box -- in the selector levers or in the cable operation. As the movement for all three gears is in a forward direction and you may have a cable operation to select the gears check the cable for failure. It the selection is at the base of a steering column then check for failed bushes and if it is a top mounted lever directly into the gear box then check that the pin that pivots the gear lever is tight and not worn. I am reasonable confident that the problem is in the selection mechanism and not in the box proper.

2007 Kia Spectra. What's the torque specs for the valve cover gasket.

The KIA shop manual (both my hard copy and kiatech) show the locations of the bolts on the "Cylinder Head Cover" --aka valve cover-- and they provide the torque at 35-52 lb-in (4-6Nm), but they don't specify a tightening order. Normally crisscross middle to outside edges, hand tight, half torque and full torque. Better to do the job right, do it once, replace the gasket.

Immobiliser issues Kia sportage . 2012 AWD Cranks but won't start . Immobiliser light comes on .

If the immobilizer light is coming on and the engine is cranking but not starting, it's likely that the immobilizer system is not recognizing the key and is preventing the engine from starting. Here are a few things you can try:
  1. Check the battery in the key fob: Make sure the battery in the key fob is not dead. A low battery can cause the immobilizer system to not recognize the key.
  2. Try a different key: If all three keys are not working, it's possible that the immobilizer system itself is faulty. Try a different key to see if the problem persists.
  3. Check the immobilizer system: If the problem persists with all keys, it's possible that there is a problem with the immobilizer system itself. This could be a faulty immobilizer module, antenna coil, or wiring. You may need to have the system diagnosed and repaired by a professional mechanic.
  4. Check the fuel system: If the immobilizer system is not recognizing the key, the fuel system may not be primed correctly. Check the fuel pressure and ensure that the fuel pump is working properly.
It's important to have this issue diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible to avoid further damage to the engine or electrical system. If you're unsure about driving the vehicle, have it towed to a repair shop.

Usually there is a white light on instrument panel lower right side to start 99 Kia sportage. Now light is not coming on, engine turns over but won't start. What to do?

If the white light on the lower right side of the instrument panel that normally comes on when you turn the key to start the engine is not illuminating, there may be an issue with the starting system in your 1999 Kia Sportage. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the battery: Make sure the battery is fully charged and its connections are clean and tight. If the battery is low or has a weak connection, it may not provide enough power to start the engine.
  2. Check the starter: If the battery is good, check the starter. Listen for a clicking sound when you turn the key to start the engine. If you hear a clicking sound, the starter may be faulty and need to be replaced.
  3. Check the ignition switch: If the battery and starter are good, the issue may be with the ignition switch. The ignition switch sends a signal to the starter to start the engine. If the switch is faulty, it may not send the signal, and the engine won't start.
  4. Check the fuel system: If the engine turns over but still won't start, check the fuel system. Make sure there is fuel in the tank and check the fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel injectors for any issues.
  5. Check the spark plugs: If the fuel system is good, check the spark plugs. Remove one spark plug and check its condition. If the spark plug is worn or damaged, it may need to be replaced.
If you're unable to diagnose and fix the issue on your own, it may be best to take your Kia Sportage to a qualified mechanic or dealership for a proper diagnosis and repair.
