Hello,

Thanks for using FixYa.

Well, apparently the thermostat on the 2002-2005 models is in the same spot, so here goes.

First you need to get under the vehicle and drain the coolant from the cooling system. Look on the bottom of your radiator for the drain plug, or you can just do like I do and unhook the lower connection of the radiator hose. This is better than realizing your mistake as you remove the t-housing and end up with a driveway full of coolant. Next thing you'll want to do is take off the engine cover (if you have one on), it's that big grey thing that covers the top of the engine block (made of plastic). 10mm screws I believe. Once that's off, remove the air intake, and the air filter box. Pretty easy, just two screws for the intake, and 3 nuts on the filter box. You'll need to remove the hose to the rear of the box so you can get the assembly out of the way.

Next, you have to remove the radiator hose. It's the same one that you might have drained out earlier. You'll be able to see the thermostat housing pretty well from here. Once you've got the rad hose out of the way, you need to remove the black plastic on the side of the housing. With that gone, move on to the nastiest part of the job. The three bolts on the thermostat housing. The first one is easy, it's the one closest to you. but the one on the back is a pain. You'll need to push some cable out of the way, and get at it with your socket wrench. After this one, move on the the worst of the three. You'll have to do this pretty much by touch alone. Last time I did this it was in my driveway in about -18`C weather. Brrr. Don't let it frustrate you, it'll just fall out of your hands and down into the engine components, or worse, into that pan full of coolant you probably left under the engine compartment, ha ha ha.

Alright, if you've gotten this far, you're at the easy part. Take off the housing, and remove the old thermostat. You might need to pull it out with a pair of pliers or something, if it was cold when you did this (as it should have been, don't need to get coolant burns), then it'll be held by suction. Change the thermostat's gasket, put the new one in place and reverse the process. It'll go back together 100x faster than it came apart.

Hope this helps! Merry Christmas!

First you need to know what your fuel pressure is. Install a fuel pressure tester to your fuel rail port and see what it is. Should be 48-50 psi.

I have a Kia Sedona 2005 and I can't fill it up with gas without the pump kicking off and I have tried several gas stations. Sometimes I can get a few gallons in with no problem but then it kicks off again and I have to spend twenty minutes dripping fuel into it until I loose patience. Help me!

Need more info, but sounds like your not getting enough fuel pressure or you need a major tune-up.

you can try out some guide from here reliable-store they also provide live chat feature for instant help and it's very useful

You may have clogged the injectors.

hi how are you? a ticking sound would be from one or more bad lifters. tyr to give it a oil change with a lighter weight oil for the winter.if that does not get rid of it then your lifters are no good and would need to be replaced.

Only trying to help there's a video on 2003 it may be the same can only just take a look it may be a help to you. All best take care Clive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTsNAMVM6nc

manufacturer specific for the kia its https://www.engine-codes.com/p1723.html for the p1723 is for the a/t relay the relay is located under the traction control module which is usually fitted under the dash near the heater box end. It is stuck into 3rd as there is a fault in the system which puts the transmission into 3rd gear as a fail safe. the link will assist with explanation and options for repair https://www.obd-codes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15129

Does kia carnival 2000 model had an immobilizer?

Underneath your vehicle, a steel threaded cable comes from the back of one hub and is joined by a short cable from the other hub--then the original cable runs to a threaded end with an adjuster nut in it--and one smaller nut on the end outside of that--(this is the equalizer bar)--you'll see it real close to your transmission.
You might have to jack-up the back of the vehicle???
Pull the parking brake lever up sharply and then release it.
Pull the parking brake lever to the second click and leave it there. You're looking for a slight drag of the brake shoes when you spin the wheels.
To increase the drag, get under at the equalizer bar and turn the adjusting nut to take up the slack in the cables. Get out and spin the rear wheels if you think it's to tight.
I will say don't be afraid to crank on it for a while as in this case, a little adjustment really does not go a long way. When you think you have the drag right, go back in the car and pull the brake up the the fourth click. At this point the wheels should be locked and you should not be able to turn them even when trying hard. If you can, tighten them up a little more.
Once you've done this, release the brake and make sure the wheels spin freely. If they are still binding due to the parking brake, back off the adjustment a little. And that's basically the whole adjustment procedure.

Hi. Thanks for your question. Transmission issues can sometimes cost you more money so i would recommend you to troubleshot yourself first. You can visit https://www.reliable-store.com and download the entire workshop manual. It has all the information along with the diagrams for better understanding. Good day!

Multiple possibilities. Is the fuel pump running and the turns of ( this will pressure fuel rail) when the key is turned to run position? EFI does not flood. Could be no spark, crank position senor.
