Howdy everyone
Ive been lurking for a long time, gathered a lot of info but I cannot find the solution to the problem this time.
The vehicle has extended start times. When using a jump from my truck it starts fine the times I went that route.
1) 2001 Kia Sephia, auto.
2) New NGK plugs and wires 100 miles ago. Grandma had never had any maint. work done.
3) Fuel pressure was high 30s' low 40's was taking a long time to build up, very delayed. Put in new pump, holds about 52psi at idle, builds pressure fast.
4) Replaced fuel filter as well.
5) I have the old Camshaft sensor and Crankshaft sensor out. I have new ones as well. Using the new ones, I did a Ohm test and the "old" ones provide nearly the same amount of resistance. The new camshaft sensor is about 26ohms and the old is 23ohms. The Crankshaft sensor both new and old about .800ohms.
6) A shop said it was both of the above sensors, thus the reason I got new ones but have not installed them. I doubt both sensors went, at the same time.
I'll check the coil packs for resistance tomorrow and I'm trying to use the kia website for offical troubleshooting but I'm at a loss.
I don't wan to throw 140 bucks in two sensors and have it be something else.
Thoughts??
THanks in advanced!
