Car running rough, changed fuel filter on 2001 Kia Rio and didnt seem to help. What could be making this suddenly happen it was running just fine then bam not??

SOURCE: fuel filter

first, you have to drain the oil from the drain plug located at the bottom of the oil pan,

after all of the oil have been drain, tighten back the drain plug bolt.

then remove the old oil filter by using a filter wrench, you would need this wrench because it is very hard to remove by plain hands. the oil filter is located at the bottom of the engine or sometimes at its side.

after removing the old one, apply a thin coat of new oil to the rubber o-rings of the new oil filter before inserting just to make a good seal as you tighten it.

now open the oil filler cap at the top of the engine and pour the exact amount of new oil that was specified in your book. and also the correct type of oil that it uses.

then start the engine for 5 mins, turn t off and check the amount of oil at the dip stick. add if necessary..

i hope i was able to fix ur problem...

tnx 4 using fixya

Are you positive its the fuel pump? Have you tried running the pump with the return line off to see if it pumps fuel? They don't always have to make a noise.

well spend some change and have a simple tune-up.  Plugs and filters and readjust the idle.

P0705....Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction (PRNDL Input) . probably means that that a plug may have come off or a wire got cut thus the circuit to the Park , Reverse, nuetral , Drive or Low had a "malfuntion". Ot it couldbe the sensor itself on the tranny.

SOURCE: Kia Rio overheating although everything seems ok

Possible early signs of a water pump problem. A failing waterpump will circulate coolent when the RPMS are high but when you slow down, so does the waterpump, thereby causing overheating.
