Misfire Diagnosis – Kia Sedona

Misfire Diagnosis – Kia Sedona

Let’s have a look at this Kia Sedona 3.5 V6 that has come into the SMA shop with a P0306 Misfire and a complaint of rough running in the morning. Remember don’t be fooled by single cylinder misfire codes… they can be misleading! Test Don’t Guess!

Come on Eric you don't need no stinkin' test light. You're a real man with a hairy chest, stick your fingers in there and feel the spark bite with your bare hands. Test lights are for wimps! lol

Antonio Claudio Michael says:

Great video As Always Dr O was very entertaining Eric O @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC

David Martel says:

That was terrible.

Charles Sims says:

Hello Eric, just found your video. Getting ready to do this job tomorrow on the same model year vehic!e. So what does it mean if there is oil in the spark plug wells? Thank you for your video, it was very informative.

zib kabeer says:

This one would be an awesome waveform. If you could clamp onto a common ground would be cool to see the spark jumping all over the waveform.

Lawrence Jensen says:

It looked fixxed

John Doe says:

15 seconds in… Ahhh! The Electrickery is coming out of the wires! Put it back, put it back! Hahaha!

Pw Dr says:

Thanks for the videos! Part 1 and 2 helped me understand much better what's going on in my Kia Sedona 2005. I've got codes 302 and 304, so, coil 2&4 along with spark plugs 2/4/6 were changed. Also I replaced the ignition coil wiring (connectors were bad). Now, I'm getting code 306 ! Does it means I need to change coil 6? and/or, I should go for 1/3/5 coil & spark plugs & wiring? I'll appreciate your feedback. Keep posting videos like this, they are so helpful! . PWDR.

What kind of shop lite was that you were
using

Mike Chiodetti says:

My Wife's 06 Sorento needs coils and wires. Shoulda done that last year when I was doing the back hoses, front timing belt and water pump with the plenum removed. Don't know if the wires can come out without plenum removal. Great Video though! Water works almost every time!

Carl Meyer says:

Had the same problem on my '04 Amanti with the same engine. Was a hell of a light show. Hardly any drivability issues though and never threw a code. Only symptom was a hell of a sound from the arcing, sounded like half the valvetrain was going leave town.

Tom Smith says:

i'm addicted to this channel ! Eric you are a wizard .

Abu Abdulla says:

Hi
Sir I have Kia sedona 2007
There is missing in the engine
I though may be from the coils
So I replaced 3 rear coils but the problem is same
Any idea

Savannah Rose says:

Is it bad for them to have oil on them?

Larry Studer says:

This is EXACTLY what my '05 Sedona is doing. My preliminary diagnosis was bad wires. Gotta pull all that apart. Thanx, exactly on point…youCRASHhas
