Hi,
I am brand new to this forum and hoping to get some help with my Daughters Kia Mentor 1.5 DOHC.
It is a great first car for her and only done 90,000ks. The engine light has been coming on and the the motor has been missing under light load intermittently.
After a visit to the local mechanic the engine light code was the exhaust sensor so I changed that. All great and no more engine light.
Now just need to get down to the miss under light load. I have serviced the motor and changed plugs and set to correct gap. No change in the miss.
I can help the miss by giving the motor a high rev around 6000rpm and that helps clear the miss for a while after that. I can plant my right foot and accelerate hard and the miss is not there anymore but comes back on light load.
Idles fantastic no miss at all.
Any help on other items to try would be greatly appreciated.
Pete
