2007 Kia Rondo. on the lists of the fuses, it doesn't show a fuse for cruise control. Which fuse is for the cruise control?

Cruise control is a computerized function of the ECM.On my vehicle, Cruise control only works if you are driving at 50kph or faster. Read your manual. Or you need an electrician.https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me..

2002 Kia Optima 2.4 engine. What is the part called that has the wires from the spark plugs going into it? And can someone tell me where to find a diagram of the correct order?

Question edited a bit more clarity. Question moved to model category. When you replaced the starter, did you disconnect the battery? If you did, it is the security system and engine immobilizer that is stopping the car from starting. It needs resetting. Not so easy in a Kia! https://autoily.com/how-do-i-reset-kia-alarm/ The Throttle Position Sensor is nothing to do with the Starter. https://www.google.com/search?q=2002+kia+optima+2.4+TPS The item with the wires you refer to, is normally called the coil pack, but yours has the coil on top of the spark plugs. https://www.google.com/search?q=2002+kia+optima+2.4+coil+packs So what it has is a modern type distributor that is 'distributorLESS'. 2.4L Engine Firing Order: 1-3-4-2 Distributorless ignition system.

How do i change the throttle positioning sensor on my 2002 Kia Optima?

Changing the throttle position sensor (TPS) on your 2002 Kia Optima is a fairly straightforward task, but it's crucial to approach the process with care. Below are general steps to replace the TPS on most vehicles. However, always refer to the specific service manual for your car to ensure you're following the correct procedures. Tools and Materials Needed:
  • Screwdriver or socket set (depending on the type of fasteners used)
  • A new throttle position sensor (ensure it's the right part for your vehicle)
  • A digital multimeter (optional, for testing the old sensor)
Steps to Change the Throttle Position Sensor:
  1. Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. This ensures you won't accidentally cause any electrical shorts or get shocked while working on the vehicle.
  2. Locate the TPS: Find the throttle body on your engine - it's usually located between the air filter box and the intake manifold. The TPS is a small sensor, often positioned on the side of the throttle body and connected to the throttle plate shaft.
  3. Inspect Electrical Connections: Before removing the TPS, check the wiring and connections for any signs of damage, corrosion, or wear. If you find damaged wires, they'll need to be addressed as well.
  4. Remove the TPS: Using the appropriate tool (screwdriver or socket), carefully remove the screws or bolts holding the TPS in place. Some vehicles might have a clip that secures the sensor. If so, carefully detach it.
  5. Install the New TPS: Position the new TPS in place, ensuring that it aligns properly with the throttle plate shaft. Attach it using the screws or bolts you removed earlier. Be cautious not to overtighten as you could damage the new sensor.
  6. Reconnect Electrical Connections: Plug the wiring harness back into the new TPS. Ensure it's securely connected.
  7. Reconnect the Battery: Reconnect the negative terminal to the battery.
  8. Test the Installation: Start the car and let it run for a few minutes. Pay attention to any unusual behaviors, such as erratic idling or poor acceleration. If you have a digital multimeter and know how to use it, you can check the TPS's voltage to ensure it's working correctly.
  9. Clear any Engine Codes: If you had a check engine light due to the faulty TPS, you might need to clear it using an OBD-II scanner.
  10. Test Drive: Once you're sure everything is in order, take the car for a short test drive. Monitor for any issues with throttle response or engine behavior.
Remember, while these are general guidelines, there may be specific details or steps unique to your 2002 Kia Optima. Always consult the vehicle's service manual or consult with a professional mechanic if you're unsure about any part of the process.

Where is purge evac solenoid on 08 kia sportage

In the 2008 Kia Sportage, the purge evacuation (EVAP) solenoid is typically located near the charcoal canister. The exact location may vary slightly depending on the specific engine configuration and optional equipment, but here is a general guideline:
  1. Locate the Charcoal Canister: The charcoal canister is a component of the EVAP system and is responsible for storing fuel vapors. It is usually located in the rear of the vehicle, near the fuel tank or in the engine compartment. The canister is a cylindrical or rectangular-shaped container.
  2. Find the EVAP Solenoid: Once you have located the charcoal canister, look for a smaller component connected to it. This component is the purge evacuation (EVAP) solenoid. It is typically a small plastic or metal device with electrical connectors and vacuum hoses.
  3. Follow the Hoses and Wires: Trace the vacuum hoses and electrical wires connected to the charcoal canister to locate the EVAP solenoid. The solenoid may be connected directly to the canister or positioned nearby.
Please note that the exact location of the EVAP solenoid may vary slightly depending on the specific engine and emission system layout of your 2008 Kia Sportage. Consulting the vehicle's service manual or contacting a Kia dealership may provide more accurate and detailed information tailored to your specific model. It's important to exercise caution when working with the EVAP system and its components, as they are part of the vehicle's emission control system. If you are unsure or uncomfortable performing the task yourself, it's recommended to seek assistance from a qualified technician or a reputable automotive service center. They have the expertise and tools to locate and service the EVAP solenoid properly.
