Default She was a good car for the past 92000 mi

But the other day I broke a timing belt. I've replaced it but luck was not with me. She jammed right up as soon as the key was touched and then I was sure the valves must have done their thing.

I have now found this forum and confirmed my '03 Kia Cinco problem. I'll take the Head off this week to look see to determine what is salvagable.

I probably will take it off the road turn in the license and cancel the insurance to reduce this transpoetation cost.

I may buy a scooter to commute to work (17 miles one way) due to the high price of gas.

One Question: I bought a new 2007 Sedona for my wife...does this vehicle also have and interference engine potential problem?

According to an article in Kia Tech yes it is an interference engine. Go buy you're owners manual if you have one.

Default Thank you for the quick reply

I noticed today that she has about 23000 miles on it already.
