Hello lubyamanda and thank you for asking your question here on fixya.com.

I have actually written a general information article that will walk you through the general process of changing the fan belt on your 2000 Kia Sephia. It will also point you to the resources you need for getting the diagrams of how the belt needs to go back on. Belts usually cost less than $20 and take a few minutes to put them on.

there is a haynes manuel for your vehicle covers both sephia and spectra from 1994 thru 2004 might try used book stores or auto parts chain like advanced auto or auto zone . if they dont have one in stock ask them to look up the next store. i tried several time to walk you threw it all this hunting and pecking i was getting lost myself and i dont know how to scan and send any pictures . our kia's have a blue book value of around $500 in fair condition . im going to keep that in mind the next break down.
