Would this be the same for a 97 KIA sport age??
I grew up with car engines in the living room, so I do quite well with anything made before 1980. Newer stuff is hit and miss. The 4×4 part works well, but is only for dirt and snow. The hubs are automatic and vacuum actuated. It could be improved with limited slip differentials, but then most cars could be improved that way.
Are they pretty good cars overall? I been thinking about replacing my 98 ZJ Grand Cherokee with something smaller and lighter.
How does the 4×4 work? is it full time that can be used on dry roads, or only for dirt,snow, etc. Thanks.
That may be. Much of the engineering is Ford and Mazda in this model and year.
There is no transmission belt that I know of, This is a Timing Belt within the motor. Once broken, the valves stopped doing the right things at the right time. Fortunately, no valve and Piston Impacts happen in this motor.
The rupture of the transmission belt made you engine failure?
for example against piston valves?
The engine in the Mazda Miata is also Non-Intereference. Maybe the engines are related. Size is about the same… 1.8 liter in the Miata.
Its a Non Interference engine. 2001 Sportages are notorious for coils going out however. I’ve done this work on my car before. Easy repairs what kills is labor. Do it once takes a few to change the second time psh you can do it faster than any garage and save some cash due to the belt being inexpensive. Great vid wish I’ve seen it before would have made first time a breeze.
I’m not entirely sure. I did it across a few days as I had to stop several times for a variety of reasons. I had never done one before either, so there was research to be done as well. $550 is probably not out of line for this at all. Other cars are most likely worse due to the amount of stuff they like to stick under the hood on some cars. If I had to hire mechanics to fix my car, I would keep their phone number.
I had my son’s timing “chain” replaced and the mechanic also replaced the water pump (I was ok with that) and all of the belts (I was ok with that too) however the total cost was $550.00. My question-is it possible that there are chains on some vs. belts and how does that price sound for a non-dealer repair-Southeast labor rates-no certain what his rate is…how long did it take you to do that job?
Non interference motors don’t self destruct when a timing belt breaks. Interference motors usually do. Therefore, I say they are better as they don’t become paperweights when the belt breaks.
is non interference motors better than interference design ???
Why do car companies do this someone please explain if you buy a Korean car i expect korean parts not mazda shit. Another example why the fuck does my car got a mitsubishi tranny in it when its a damn toyota wtf?
Have you verified that it has spark? Are their leaks/blockages in the fuel line? KIA did something weird with the system in that is uses vacuum as part of the fuel delivery system. Is the fuel pump relay working?
how to begin my 2000 kiasportage sounds like its having problems wit the fuel pump the kind where it turns over but no fuel to crank the motor.well i replaced the fuel pump and the filter and it still starving for gas any advice on what to do next?
That is pretty much what I determined from my examination.
The Kia uses a Mazda FE3 motor, It is a Non-Interference motor.
Ok, on mine, starting from the front, I have a V-belt for the AC, a multigroove/serpentine type belt for the alternator and fan, and against the motor is a V-belt for the power steering.
Great video. I have a few questions on a different topic if you can help. Is the power steering belt the closest one to the engine behind the belt for the alternator? Or is it the one in front? If it’s the one behind it, does that mean I have to remove the first two belts to replace the one closest to teh engine? How might I do that? I know this is a lot of questions but any help at all would be appreciated.
Glad it was useful.
Glad it was helpful. I have 3? more videos on the project you may find useful too.
Thanks for posting this video. Helped me change my belt today. Big help!
