2001 Sportage EX Stalling -HELP

natalie · 07-01-2006, 02:22 PM

I have a 2001 Sportage EX- has been running fine until 2 weeks ago. Runs well in the AM and on the way home from work it starts to bog like I'm losing fuel and has no power. My hubby has changed the parts in this order- fuel filter and fuel pump. Took it to Advance and the computer ran a misfire code in bank #1. Plugs were changed and coils are fine. It has no valve cover leak. He ran fuel and intake cleaning system through it and that made it worse. Today the timing belt was changed and it has made it no better or worse. It still has a bog like a misfire and no throttle response. It is driving him crazy and me, too! Any Suggestions????

More than likely after your KIA warms up the parts heats up causing a miss fire. Have your man to check the connections where the main wire harness is ( there is 2 connections that goes to the main wiring harness.) but more than likely its either a coil (even thou he checked it). Make sure he also checks the timing using the I on the intake and the E on the exhaust cam and the top dead center mark on the crank.
It could also be a sensor.
