I hate this car. I don't hate it as much as any Ford I have ever worked on, but I hate it anyhow. Changing the fucking spark plugs on this machine was a nightmare to never forget. The asshole who designed the car thought it was a good idea to put an air manifold right over the spark plugs. This forced me to disassemble the manifold, unplug 2 sensors, 4 air hoses, 1 spark plug cover, the throttle cables and the ignition coils. By doing so I found 1 broken hose, messed up air manifold gasket, 1 busted ignition coil and the pcv valve was gunked up to hell. This car was a bastard to work on. Took me 7 hours to work on this, after disassembly, care and cleanup, installation and reassembly. This car is a nightmare.
I plan on doing the alternator and starter next.
Each time I change, clean or upgrade this machine it runs better. However this car sucks.
Hate Kia.
Only thing that is awesome about kia, is they offer their repair manuals for free on their website.
