Master Mechanic offering free repair advice;

it only does it when its warm outside correct not during the winter? i was trying to read all the post and study but didnt catch that part. What kind fuel does he use in it and how long has it set if any at all?

 

Well, I need to know what is happening when it gets hot and wont start- that is to say- does it even crank over? Can you find this out?

 

If its the head, how much do youthink it will cost to fix? I take it they would have to do a lot of labor to get to the head.

 

They? You could do this yourself- if you want, but usually about 1 -2 hrs labor, but heck if you are handy, own a few basic tools you could handle this repair, if you wanted to. I have no idea on the price of the speedo- as I do not work on Kia's. I would opt for a good used one if possible, but then your mileage wont match- in some states this is illegal to do- w/o adding this to the tittle or with some sort of permanent sticker. If you opt for new- the dealer can have the speedo either repaired or replaced and the correct mileage placed on the new speedo head.

 

you may come in handy someday for me alpha, have two jeeps! I'll have to keep this in mind and it's very nice of you to do this

 

Nice I have a 2010 EVO X

I am also a Major Distributor of Aftermarket parts as well. But please just PM me and not cloud this thread with what you may need.

Props to Alpha for starting this thread, it will soon be overwhelming for him to keep up.

 

It does crank over, but thats all it does.

 

Howdy, take a look behind the LH rear of the back seat- there you will find a ground wire for the fuel pump- this many times gets corroded, and then the fuel pump quits working- check this- get back to me- let's eliminate the obvious first.

 

Wow this is awesome of you! My wifes 2005 Nissan altima has been acting funny as of late... The thing is, it won't shift above third gear for some reason. (semi-automatic) drained the old tranny fluid, put in new tranny juice from the factory. Still same non shifting action. I'm fearing the worst here but hopefully u can shed some light on my problem sir. Thank you so much in advance!

 

Thanks for the help. It will probably be awhile before I get back to you, He lives 100 miles away from me, but i ocassionaly see him on the weekends. again, thanks for the help.
