Where are the sensors for sportage 97 - 2000 Kia Sportage

Try the oxygen sensor or its connections. I have a 97 Sportage which had hesitation problems. The check engine light would come on. The sensor had become sluggish replacing it solved the problem. Its speed can be measured with a tester that can read changes in its voltage really fast. Hope this helps.

It is in the distriburor

No, the sensor apparently never was the problem. But I think you need to revisit the cam sensor code-it's telling you something. About all you have to go on at this point, although I think eventually you may want to check the fuel pressure. That is one thing the computer doesn't monitor, and a common problem with hard starting.

The reason for a camshaft sensor is so the computer can synchronize injector pulsing with the intake valves opening. So it's crucial that it works right. There is a magnet, or something like that-never saw a Kia- on the cam that the cam sensor picks up a signal from, and relays it to the computer via the cam sensor circuit. Something is still wrong with that same code being set. Don't shoot the messenger again, go at it full throttle-find the problem.

It may be possible that there is a significant vacuum leak. Check all of the vacuum hoses for cracks or disconnection, or possible connection to the wrong sites.

I was missing a fan blade and was out of balance . cut the opposite one off and no more rough idle

Maybe. Check transmission fluid. If it's at the right level then have the transmission filter checked.

try cleaning all engine gronds and grounds on battery tray there was an issue with wiring to the mass meter and tps

you'd have to remove the engine its on the back.
