2000 Kia Sephia |
|
|
-Last night, filled tank in 2000 Sephia with no previous signs of
malfuntion. Drove home and parked it for about an hour.
-Upon ignition, engine sputtered, but idled OK. During acceleration, ran
very rough. After about three blocks, turned around and drove the trusty
Volvo for 20 mile trip instead.
-This morning, drove Kia about 2 miles to buy new fuel filter. On the way,
noted that sputter occured in mid-throttle. Replaced filter, and restarted.
-Let idle for several minutes and increased throttle. Sputtering still
occuring.
-Car has 52K miles. Bosch plugs and K&N filter only a few months old.
What next?

Check the last thing you did before the problem occured - the fuel.
You may have something in there that isn't gas.

That was my guess...I placed an additive that is supposed to remove moisture
into the tank earlier today, but it has made no difference, so far.
