I just changed the spark plugs and wires on my '97 Kia Sephia 1.8L and when I turn the ignition on the horn goes into a panic. I made sure not to mix up the wires. Any advice?

First, unplug the horn relay and replace it. It is sticking and only powers up whrn the ignition is turned on.

Second, look for a loose wire or set of wires under the hood that you had to "stretch" when you changed the plugs.

Do you have a fob (remote)? If not, you may have an override button inthe fuse box. Look for a reset button (press all of them) in the fuse compartment.

Please post a comment! Everyone is anxious!

This may not be coincidental. You may have a faulty horn switch behind the steering wheel.

make sure that your clean air intake is all hooked up correctly this is a common problem because when the mass air flow sensor detects too much or too little air it will try to die or idle rocky also if it is correct look to make sure the air filter is clean if not then replace it.

1999 sephia kia has bad missing in it. Worst when on strong pull.

Change your plugs, sounds like they are worn and nit firing as strong when on a pull. Or check for jumping sparks from the engine area at night. It could be a wire jumping out sparks hitting any metal around the wire.

Shutter Fluttering

Open the hood and look down at the front of the cylinder head, right above the the exhaust manifold. I would suggest changing the spark plugs, the plug wires, the coil wire, the distributor cap and the rotor button.tarting with the wires. Sound like the electricity is arcing to the surounding metal surfaces.
