he mentioned having the crank shaft sensor replaced?? does this make sense?
The CSS could cause this problem but it sounds like he is fishing for answers on your dime. Not knowing what he took off when he did the VC I can only guess what the cause is. The 2 cylinders that are affected do not share the same coil so I don't think it is that. When I did mine a year ago I managed to pinch an injector lead so it broke the brittle snap plug. I bought a new harness and replaced it. It is possible he may have pinched or unplugged a few injector clips and is causing the missfire. It is probably something very simple. YOU should not be attempting to fix it. HE should be footing the bill at the KIA dealer to get it repaired.

Thank you so much nstoolman1..Im a single mother of 3 kids..I work 7 days a week with both jobs..I need my car that I have taken such good care of and was trying to save $ in this process..at this point I just will call my insurance co because I have towing and get it to someone else..Im so worried something more will happen to it so much for enjoying the holidays i know it seems silly but this has rocked my world..what was told was a 3 hour job has turned into a nightmare for me anyway!
Sorry to hear of your troubles. That gasket is easily replaced on many older cars, but on modern engines, there's a lot of bits and pieces in the way that have to come off first. If your mechanic wasn't experienced with KIAs, something could easily have gone wrong.

hey guys..so i brought your email and your suggestion to the attention of the guy doing my car..it was 8pm tonite when he called and said that by me going on this forum has really helped him..he mentione that hes got it figured out and that I need a new harness that goes to the fuel injectors?? I called Advance Auto and they can not get it..do you have any suggestions for me as to reputable site to order parts for Kia? Im really hoping this resolves the issue..he mentioned all the wires were melted together?? Said he could black tape them if the part was too espensive..pretty soon I will be able to be my own mechanic here ..I trust your opinion and I thank you so much for helping me to figure this out even tho I shouldnt be the one having to do this!

I don't know if the injector harness is the same but my 03 is about $62. You can call the dealer and get a price and part number. With that info you can go online and plug the numbers in and get a price with shipping.
bought the injector harness for 80.00 from Kia dealership..with it being the holidays I was able to pick it up today and give it to the guy that STILL has my car..got a phone call this evening that the injector harness is STILL not the problem..still misfiring..will pick the car up tomorrow and put matters into my own hands..any other possibilities? its getting spark at the plug and power to the injector he says..
Well, the camshaft sensor is right there on the driverside front of the valve cover. It is possible a blade got bent or the wire is not clipped in the socket properly. I just got through replacing my DS VC so I know how easy it is to hit it when installing the cover.
We got the car back today. We swapped the plugs (NGK), swapped the wires between number 5 and 2 and 4 and 1 to eliminate a bad wire. Also swapped the coil pack for 2 and 4. Number 5 cyclinder is still not firing at all. We erased all codes and are only getting a number 5 misfire code now. Not sure if the mechanic working on this got a number 4 misfire for some other reason or not but only number 5 is missing now. I plan on taking it all apart tomorrow to look for any other issues. Would a crank sensor cause only number 5 cylinder to miss?? Also, could coolant be getting into the cylinder via the manifold gasket having a bad spot. Not sure why the guy did not replace these since he already had them, but he took them back. Also tried spraying ether around the gaskets to see if there was an air leak but no luck. Thanks for any help.
