2007 Diesel Sportage Malfunction

viren · 08-13-2009, 12:34 PM

2008 Diesel Kia Sportage when driven at 80KM/Hr the system floods and the diesel has to be drained out to restart the vehicle.
This was in an accident and after repaired, upon starting the SUV it gave the above prolem.
Any suggestions?

My suggestion is to post this in the Sportage section. You will probably get more responses there. And also

to the forum.

When you say has to be drained out, what exactly do you mean? Is the engine actually stalling at 80km per hour? Is fuel needing to be drained from injectors or are cylinders filling with unburnt fuel? Please give some more detail to make it easier to try to solve your problem.

Sorry about the wrong category post I did not realize that it ended up in here, thanks. Can a thread be move to another category?

To give a few more details, the fuel filter at the engine needs to be drained before re-starting the SUV. Yes it stalls at 80KM/h. No error codes all parts replaced are new, there are now faulty wiring. Everything seems to be normal.
