Need headlight wiring diagram for 2013 Kia Rio,want to fit spotlights
you will have to fit a relay into the system. Tap a wire into the high beam power wire for the headlights. (Piggy back connection) take this wire down to the fitted relay to a coil pin on the relay. connect a wire to the other coil pin of the relay and return to the dash area to an control switch through it then to an earth point.. Run a wire to an inline fuse directly from the battery ( fuse close to the battery as it is a high current line) down to one pin of the relay. connect up the power wire for the light to the opposite pin on the relay and connect the earth wire of the light to an earth point
According to road regulations you cannot have spot lights on by them selves and they must only operate in conjunction with high beam operation.. The setup as I describe allows you control of when the spotlights will be on ( switch in the dash) and if on will be extinguished when low beam is selected as per regulations. The relay ensures that the trigger wires do not carry full light amperage so light gauge wires can be used and only the power wire from the battery to the relay to the light need to be heavier gauge.

2005 Kia Rio. What is the hose going from the air intake box to the throttle body on it?
The hose that connects the air intake box to the throttle body on a 2005 Kia Rio is the air intake hose. The air intake hose is a flexible conduit that carries air from the air intake box to the throttle body. It plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of the engine by allowing the throttle body to receive a steady supply of fresh air. This hose can become damaged or clogged over time, which can cause the engine to run poorly or stall. If the hose is damaged, it should be replaced to ensure proper engine performance.

Where on 2006 Kia Rio is the egr valve located?
In a 2006 Kia Rio, the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve is typically located on the engine, near the intake manifold. The EGR valve is responsible for recirculating a small amount of exhaust gas back into the intake manifold to lower the combustion temperature and reduce the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions.
The exact location of the EGR valve can vary depending on the engine type, but it is usually found on the top or side of the engine near the intake manifold or throttle body. It may be mounted to the intake manifold or to a separate bracket. It is usually a cylindrical shaped valve and it may have vacuum or electrical connector.
You may consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic to locate the EGR valve specifically on your 2006 Kia Rio.

MY KIA RIO 2015 SPEEDS UP TOO SLOW
besides dragging brakes or parked on a hill (LoL)
1;:Engine is weak (vast caused)
2: transmission problem. (complex, or is CVT horror)
to learn which of the 2 it is.
is , look at MPG and RPM gauges. (dash cluster or?)
if RPM goes super high and MPH (KMH) not high then #2 is it.
no engine ,transmission type or country told.

Took my car to have check engine light checked. It
In modern cars so much can go wrong to indicate an issue and a computer in the car can get confused as to what is really occurring. In most cars a misfire indicates either an incorrect firing order, shorted wires, bad plugs, or bad coil. Since you have replaced the wires and plugs we can rule those out. Im also assuming after the second engine code you pulled #2 plug and made sure it wasnt fouled with oil, was gapped correctly, and reinserted. To produce a sufficient spark for combustion the alternator sends power to a "Coil" which is in reality a storage point that then sends an amplified electrical current down the spark plug wire to the cylinder to fire the plug. If the car is truly misfiring you will notice a rough idle, fluctuating RPM's, and lack of acceleration. If you are experiencing any of these I would look at replacing the coil. If you arent experiencing any of these I would have the code cleared again and complete one drive cycle 100 miles and then have codes read again. If you still get a Misfire error some other causes known to occur with Rio's are fuel filter issues, gas caps, and fuel injector issues. Although rare, these can cause issues with the cars fuel delivery and emissions which can confuse the sensor in the ECU. I would try injector cleaner, replace the fuel filter, and gas cap . If funds are an issue then based on symptoms I would start with injector cleaner first $3, Filter $12, Gas cap $12, Coil $48 to $200+

2016 KIA RIO 1.4. No ignition my car is completely dead?
First check to make sure the battery is actually charged and if it is check around the battery to see if you can find the wire you missed when reconnecting the cables. Try to jump start it. My hunch is a bad connection or no connection at all. I hope this helps. Take Care.
