remove wiper arms 14mm remove rubber strip & plastic covers then you can remove wiper motor assembly 10mm then unbolt steel panel 10mm now you can access hose ,

Apparently there is a temperature sensor somewhere that if it detects an overheat, it will shut the engine down. I've had it cut out 4-5 times when overtaking. Very nasty. Yet to find what the underlying cause is - collapsing radiator hose perhaps?

starter solenoid is bad replace starter. Check fuel pump circuit and fuse to ensure it's getting current to the fuel pump relay.

CALL YOUR KIA DEALER ASK FOR SERVICE MANAGER BETTER DISCONNECT BATTERY OR IT WILL RUN DEAD

Ignition failure can be many things. Not just one sensor. What was the code? or have it read.

Check thermostat is opening and if the radiator has not been serviced have it cleaned or new one and yes check the convertor is,nt blocked it will make a hissing sound if it's blocked when you Rev it up.

You should check for cooling liquid,and car freezer in front of yours car

because you have replace engines but I imagine that you have used the crank and cam position sensors on the 3.5 but connected up to the kia ECM there is a possibility that the ecm is not reading those position sensors and not providing timing for the ECM . It will be reading as broken timing belt. I would suggest a scan of the fault codes to determine if there any sensors not reading correctly. You may have to find a speed shop that has CPU programming capabilities to reprogram the ECM/CPU to the different sensors.

I need more info to help you. Take it to a good shop. It is ok to drive it there, just try to tape or plug or wrap the hose just in case all the fluid has not drained out you don't want to make a mess. It will be hard to steer, you will just have to drive old school, like it was before power steering. Mike

I would check the bit on top of the starter motor cus that's it.

no vacuum at the temperature gauge?or gauge went south?

I hope that you haven't paid him for the work done so far. Get some one else in to finish the job

SOUNDS LIKE the throttle position sensor (tps) (will cause surging), or mass air sensor (mas) if equipped (or your equivalent) Unplugging the mass air sensor will cause the computer to switch to limp home mode, which will clean up the idle till you replace the sensor, ( usually located on the air intake tube or at the air cleaner) These are sometimes on the ame circuit as the crank sensor (picked up on the scanner), but the coils and crank are totally the wrong direction.

Code 134 is for no activity or signal coming from the O2 sensor for bank one sensor one. Code 154 is for no activity or signal from bank 2 sensor one. My first guess would be a wiring problem since it is rare for two sensors to fail at the same time.

yep connect to radiator.overflow line should run from overflow reservoir to the top of radiator where radiator cap located.radiator filler tube there is a 1/4 nipple where the overflow hose should go.
