Top 20 2005 Kia Sorento Questions & Answers

If it has come apart, it needs replacing or re-attaching.

Which engine do you have fitted? Is it a Petrol or a Diesel? They did four different engine sizes which were either an inline 4 cylinder or a V6. The firing orders are different between V6 and inline 4 cylinder engines so please use the comment section below and I'll try to give you more help.

Well, lets get something very clear here. Freon is a brand name of R12 refrigerant. Your vehicle takes R134a refrigerant. Secondly, it is technically ******* for you to install R134a refrigerant into an air conditioning system without proper licensing. Lastly, why waste your money on refrigerant when you most likely have a leak that will cause your refrigerant to vent to atmosphere in less than a month anyway. Get your car fixed correctly, legally, and do the right thing for the environment. Hire a mechanic that has the proper Section 609 licensing along with ASE A7 Certification.

Does it have manual lever type handle or an electric release? Can you hear it unlock/lock?

If there is nothing under the sump pan then you can take the pan off

There's a website that has all this information about all this and manuals everything totally free there are many actually but I personally like few like.. reliable-store .. let me know if u need help thanks

Hi. The two primary functions that need to be present is fuel and spark. Please verify that they are there. There are different ways to determine the failure but I need more information first. Was the engine light on before the "No Start" issue? Did you retrieve any engine codes and if so, what were they? A no start problem can me mechanical or electrical. This could be related to the car's anti theft feature, blown fuse, wiring, out of gas, fuel pump, CPS, TPS, ECU or any number of failures. Please write back with more information or questions. Good Luck.

Hi Sue Did you or someone else change spark plugs? Changing plugs should have made no difference to engine starting assuming they are correct plugs and all the plug gaps are correct. Also of course whatever you disconnected to replace plugs was reconnected. What was the reason for changing plugs in the first place did you have a starting or running issue? Did you disconnect battery for any reason? If not something may have triggered a module to freeze maybe you had ignition switched on whilst disconnecting coils or flashed a wire to ground without realising it. The only thing I can advise without looking at the vehicle is disconnect the battery earth (negative - ) terminal only. Leave it disconnected for at least 15 minutes reconnect and try again. This will send all Modules to sleep and reboot when you connect the negative terminal. It's a bit like a home computer sometimes we have to completely power down because it freezes. Make sure ignition is switched off when you carry out this procedure as you do not want to reconnect battery and send power through all circuits. This part has to be controlled by the ignition switch. You may also need your radio code as the radio may not switch back on without entering the code. If this does not work someone will have to visually look at your vehicle. Good luck

What are your symptoms? Has the wiring been tampered with? Did you check the Oil? The low oil sensor will disable the ignition if its more than a quart low....

unless you do something to fix the problem , it will come up again the sensor at fault will be the heated oxygen sensor(HO2S)in the exhaust manifold in bank one It reports the gas composition to the ECM which then adjusts the air/fuel mixture to correct the lean burn

The transfer is vacuum actuated. Check that all vacuum hoses are attached and not broken and cracked and losing vacuum to the actuator switch and motors.

Yes of course you can. Important thing isn't weather or not it's the same make pr model when it comes to car radios, the important thing is size (form factor).

I, feel sorry for you, after reading your problem, but don't worry you visit the Reliable-Store they will help you for sure. KIA Sorento V6 3 5L 2005 OEM Factory SHOP Service repair manual Download...

I looked at your owners manual. Hopefully the fuel relay that I circled is it, in the under hood fuse box. I could be wrong?

What I do is go by miles per gallon and fill the tank when I've driven enough for it to drop. As long as the odometer works it's all good. You can fix it if you want to go to the trouble. It's either a bad card in the tank module or a resistor fell off in the instrument panel. Panels can be refluxed just like motherboards by tossing it in the oven for a few seconds. Tank modules have to be replaced.

pull the injectors for a recondition and pressure set have it done by an accredited diesel specialist shop make sure that the battery is fully operational as it needs to crank fast to start easy

Hey Rk_ The switch may have gone bad.. or the module that controls the wiper... if the fuse went bad, it would not work.. REMOVE the fuse if you want it to stop... Search from over 10 Million Auto Parts

sound probably i timing fault, do you have an engine warning light on. as it could be something else but if no light on it could bet the timing belt/chain. would not keep driving if the belt is gone as it will damage the engine. if light is on then you can use a ecu reader to find the faults.

You need to run an engine control module scan for fault codes Known as an OBD2 fault code test.. Autozone and others do this for free. If no fault show then hook up a test fuel gage the next time it stalls and see if maybe the fuel pump is failing.

Check belt tensioner adjustment. Spray WD 40 on belts and pulleys and start. If no fix .it is most likely the rear bearings on the alt. before you buy a new one shoot some WD in the rear of the alt through the slits to the shaft. No fix take it to your local chain parts store and they will check it for free. Mike
