Check Engine light on 2005 Kia Sedona

The check engine light has gone on (again) on our 2005 Kia Sedona. The first time it had to do with the gas cap. The second time it ''fixed'' itself after a few days. Anything I can do to troubleshoot this myself without taking it to the dealer?

SOURCE: How to change the oil on a 2005 Kia Sedona

The oil filter is towards the front of the car, underneath on the passenger side, at the corner of the engine cradle. Loosen the drain plug and drain the oil. Make sure the old oil filter gasket came off with the oil filter. Reinstall the new oil filter. Reinstall the drain plug and fill with 5 quarts of 10w/30 motor oil.

SOURCE: How do change the serpentine belt on a 2005 Kia

There is a tensioner pulley that has a nut in the middle of it, loosen that nut and there is a tensioner bolt that when you loosen it, it slides the pulley away from the belt to replace it.

Tachometer in 2005 kia not working and the check engine light came on

lol The previous answers are a joke. Engine runs, maybe slightly rough, tach not working, and engine light on. Typical ailment for a Kia. Most common issue is the 'Ignition Fail Sensor', located on the engine near the water outlet.

2005 Spectra: check engine light, used to correct by retightening the gas cap, not anymore

Hi:
It is good that you checked your gas cap, as that is a frequent cause of a check engine light, but there are also hundreds of other things too. A good idea is to go to your local auto parts store, and get your code downloaded for free, to see what tripped the light. Once you get that info, you can work towards the repair. I hope you get a cheap fix

Fuel gets to under a quarter of a tank and engine just dies could this be the a faulty sender unit, as when we put fuel back in it runs ok until we get to under a quarter of a tank again,no fuel low light...

Might have got some bad gas at one time and when gas is low in the tank whatever is in the tank clogges up the fuel pump screen.
