1999 kia sportage timing marks

Is this all you need or the timing marks too?

• Hi, I can help. Please see the diagrams below for your timing marks.

• The picture below is the crankshaft marks that need to be lined up before you remove the timing belt.

• Below is the intake and exhaust camshaft pulley marks.

• Below is an exploded diagram of the engine components in relation to the timing belt.

• Please not that this diagram is good for both 4X4 and 2X4 2.0 Engine (which is the only engine Kia Sportage had that year).

• If you have any comments please feel free to leave them here.
• Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

Regards, Tony

NON INTERFERENCE ENGINE ON THIS MODEL JUST REPLACE THE BELT AND YOU WILL BE FINE . HAVE WORKED ON DOZENS OF SPORTAGES WITH BROKEN BELTS AND NEVER SEEN ANY BENT VALVES

There are marks on the cam gear and the head to line up when the cover is off. And the lower end the marks are on the timing cover.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/cameron_6665f74c5d46fc23

You need to pull the codes to see what the codes are,it will narrow the problem down,it can be a bad throttle position sensor,or a mass air flow sensor,or the timing belt could have jumped a notch,and if the timing belt breaks,it will bend engine valves and cost a lot of money,so have it checked.

I can help with your timing marks.
the bottom pulley on your timing belt has a **** grove on the back part of the pulley on the seal plate behind pulley should be a mark or a triangle align those two marks
for the camshaft pulleys there should be an "l" marking on the left pulley for intake and an "E" marking for the right for exhaust side allingn each marking to the grove just above the pulleys on the seal plate directly behind the pulleys

install timing belt and make sure it isnt loose on tension side which is the right side of belt if reusing old belt make sure you have marked belt on which way belt is turning

loosen tensioner lock bolt turn crankshaft two complete revolutions in direction of rotation

make sure that marks are correctly aligned still if not start back to step one.

if ok turn crankshaft to align "S" mark of right pulley or the exhaust pulley to same mark on seal plate directly behind pulley

good luck and god speed let me know how it went

NO NEED TO REPLACE CAMS OF SHAFTS, AS LONG AS VEHICLE WAS WELL MAINTAINED, MIGHT HAVE TO REPLACE BELT TENSIONER.
