New to these forums. Hello from Sacramento, CA.
I bought a 96 Sportage a few months back. Done major repairs to it. Timing belt, water pump, O2 sensors, catalytic converter, AC belt, oil change, new radiator hoses, air filter, etc etc...the list goes on and on.
After all these repairs to get it to pass smog, the monitors won't run!
Pick N Pull said it was compatible with a 97 Sportage ECM...so I bought one. They were sort of right. It works okay and ran two of my monitors, but throws codes for EVAP things that I don't have.
Here's my problem. Nobody around has the 96 ECM I need (KO4M model). I wish I knew someone who had one so I could borrow theirs...
Dealer wants $1,200, eBay wants $200.
I'm already into this car about $1,400...I don't want to spend more.
What choices do I have? Will a 96 Automatic ECM work for my 96 Manual? A pick N pull about 50 miles away has a 96 sportage. Sadly nobody local does.
P.S, after this car passes smog, what do you think I could get for it on Craigslist? Will it sell easily?
It's a 1996 Kia Sportage 5-speed, 4x4, Red, with 166K miles. I installed new carpet & waxed/buffed it...what should I list it up for?
