1997 Kia Sephia Questions & Answers
Code po135
Id check the Oxygen sensors performance. (There is more than one usually) Have the Catalytic Converter inspected at the same time. Most basic warranty period from the manufacturer is 10 years or, 100,000 miles. (Cat. Converter only)
97 kia sephia, replaced battery,
As you have replaced all the obvious things that could cause the symptoms it may be a good idea to have a cylinder compression test done , if comes back OK i'd try a fuel addative , one that covers the catalytic convertor , as there are many sensor's involved in the fuel/exhaust system as you know , this addative will clean any residue affecting there reading's , hope this helps
Fuel pump relay location on 1997 kia sephia 1.8L engine.How do I know where the fuel pump relay is located as none of them are marked or labeled?
Did you check the fuel pump fuse that is under the hood? I suppose that may not be labeled either. go to the Kia dealer and get that info where the relay and the fuse are.
If the fuse is good, the relay will have one "hot at all times" terminal. If your ecu (or pcm, whichever it is called) is working right, you can put your finger lightly on the relay, have a helper turn the key to "ON", and you should hear or feel the relay click, meaning it is energized and power should then be going to the pump. With key on, relay is energized by the ecu for 2 seconds to prime the line with gas. Then again relay is energized when the engine is cranking. Use a voltmeter and check for power at the pump with the engine cranking over. If no power, back to the relay for troubleshooting. But if there is power at the pump wire at the tank, and no fuel pump, then you almost certainly need to replace the pump.

97 kia sephia died while driving now won't start
Check your battery main wires that the terminals are clean and tight, check for CEL codes, check to make sure you are in park if it's an automatic tranny. Check your neutral safety switch if it's a manual shift tranny. Get a repair book for your model it will help diagnosing this.
My fuel light just came on and battery charge
it is the alternator. 100% Once the alternator goes out it is not uncommon for the lights on the dash to act strange. Go to your local parts store and have them do an alternator output test. Don't go driving too far because when that battery goes dead the car will die also because the alternator is not keeping a steady charge.
