Getting a "wiggle" in the back end, more noticeable at higher highway speeds. Also, not really a grinding sound, but not sure how to describe.

A vibration of that sort comes from not having your wheels balanced. That's what those little lead weights are. Even if it was balanced at one time the weights sometimes fall off.

How do I Replace or service the Hydraulic Lifters - and does the oil pump also need to be replaced ?

First before you do an overhaul try Seafoam You can google it. Do a few oil changes with it and it should clear. Your problems comes from oil sludge and carbon deposits Seafoam is designed for that purpose Once you can clear the clog you oil pressure will rise back to normal

I have a 2009 Kia Rio automatic. Has 27,000 miles

you don't say whether it's diesel or petrol, If diesel it has a vacuum pump to give pedal assistance, these have a valve in the pump that can cause such a problem, if however it's petrol I would suspect a master cylinder fault. Regards Mike

Kia rio 2003 errorcodes 1166,102,1505 1507,300 found on the scan what is the reason

Hi there:P1166 - HO2S11 Heater Circuit Fault (Bank 1 Sensor 1)P0102 - Mass Air Flow (MAF) Circuit Low Input

A code P0102 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

  • The MAF may be disconnected, or a wiring connection may be bad
  • The MAF may be dirty or otherwise contaminated (Note: if you use a reusable oiled air filter, be careful not to apply too much oil or that can contaminate the MAF).
  • The MAF sensor may be faulty
  • The vehicle computer may be faulty (very rare)
Possible Solutions

The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. Then start with the cheapest, easiest repair procedures:

  • Verify that the Mass Air Flow Sensor wiring is connected properly and that there are no broken / frayed wires.
  • Inspect for any air leaks near the MAF sensor.
  • Take the MAF out and clean it using a spray cleaner such as brake cleaner or electrical contact cleaner. Be gentle with the sensor.
  • Check the voltage of the MAF sensor (refer to a repair manual for vehicle specific information)
  • Replace the MAF sensor.
P1505 - Idle Air Control System At Adaptive ClipP1507 - Idle Air Control Underspeed Error P0300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire DetectedA P0300 diagnostic code indicates a random or multiple misfire. If the last digit is a number other than zero, it corresponds to the cylinder number that is misfiring. A P0302 code, for example, would tell you cylinder number two is misfiring. Unfortunately, a P0300 doesn't tell you specifically which cylinder(s) is/are mis-firing, nor why.A code P0300 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
  • Faulty spark plugs or wires
  • Faulty coil (pack)
  • Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
  • Faulty fuel injector(s)
  • Burned exhaust valve
  • Faulty catalytic converter(s)
  • Stuck/blocked EGR valve / passages
  • Faulty camshaft position sensor
  • Defective computer
  • If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.
If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.Random misfires that jump around from one cylinder to another (read: P030x codes) also will set a P0300 code. The underlying cause is often a lean fuel condition, which may be due to a vacuum leak in the intake manifold or unmetered air getting past the airflow sensor, or an EGR valve that is stuck open.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

Tps code problems

Try to buy one from a different parts store. Some parts need to be OEM to work properly in your car, other parts aren't as sensitive and can be bought aftermarket.
