I purchased a used 2002 Kia Sportage 4x4 and the vacuum hoses for the 4WD are not there. I need a diagram so that I can get the hoses and hook them up. And, are there any special things I should know about hooking them up?
The rubber vacuum hose comes off the intake manifold inside the engine compartment.
The vacuum lines are located on left side fender, under the hood.
If you look facing motor you will see tehm on the right side.

The problem occurred suddenly. Other than a very slight oil leak and trans in need of repair the car ran great. I have driving and in gear when this occurred. I didn't hear anything abnormal, and all gauges were normal. No jurking or vibration, it just immediately stalled, and won't start anymore.
Initially I started with the fuel system. Checked fuel pump (mfg date of 04/2006 and installed 08/2006) working. Checked lines and filter, all clean and flowing well. Checked relay and fuse, both good and working... I read one article from someone with this same issue saying that the relay was clicking like crazy and that bypassing the relay to force the pump on would verify a bad part. I tried that as well as replacing the relay with a new part, no solution found yet. I tried disconnecting the intake and spraying starter fluid and starting. This did not produce a single difference. The only thing with fuel delivery that I don't know how to do is check pressure, but I really don't think this is the issue.
Next items I checked (after reading other articles I found that this was unnecessary but I did it anyway), the Mass Airflow Sensor, Idle Air Sensor and Throttle Position Sensor. No problems. The Idle Air sensor makes a buzzing sound when the ignition is on and gets quite hot quickly so I replaced it but the new on does the same but not as loud or hot, so I don't know.
Then I pulled the intake to get to the plugs and coils, I was told that the coil should have .3 - .9 ohms on the primary and 14.5 - 20 ohms off the secondary. I was reading nothing off either side so I went to the parts store and had them test a brand new coil and they couldn't get any reading from theirs either. So I am not quite sure what you are supposed to do to get a proper reading, but the new and old ones test exactly the same so at this point assuming they are good since they were replaced a year ago anyway. I was able to test the resisters inside the secondary boot and they are for sure good at 5 ohms a piece. The spark plugs were changed for factory NGKs as well and all the wires have been replaced because they were not so great.
At this point I had found something saying the primary computer may be shot (I doubt it but), the only way I could test it at all was to take a multimeter and read varying voltages coming from the wiring that connects to the coils. When turning the ignition I get switching voltages from 9 to 11 DC volts. I don't know what they should be but at least there is something there. An interesting point to note at this time is the engine does exactly the same thing whether the coils are connected or not.
The only other things I have read point to timing belt and compression. So I am going to get a compression test done first because that is easier than getting to the timing belt. What are the correct pressure ratings? Does anyone know how to test the timing belt without taking it all apart?
If anyone has suggestions I would appreciate any feedback.
Thank you
Tim
OK you've got a real mess.
take the upper bolts out of your timing cover and pry it back just enough to "peek" in at the timing belt
if it's frayed or just plain shredded you need to take a good look at it to determine how bad it is. if it broke you'll probably need an engine because this is an interferance engine. meaning if the belt breaks the valves won't clear the pistons and it will break or bend the valves leaving you with no compression. and without the cams moving the sensors have nothing to pick up
therefore no spark, no fuel, no compression,

2002 KIA Sportage 4x4. Light is on dash as it is engaged but no 4x4 - horrible in snow even with studded tires. What can I look for to help fix???
Is the four wheel drive activated by vacuum? Check vacuum.

while pumping gas into my kia sportage, gas overflows back out
First thing to ask, Did you turn the engine off and taken keys out, because I know some folk who around this time is cold outside and leave the engine running while filling up, and this happens. If not, you got a promblem here, The vent valve is damaged, this is located between the pipe going down to your gas tank and where you are filling up. The vent valve, and filler pipe is one unit and will need to be replaced to solve your promblem.

there is a button that reads eco pwr ec-at, what is this for?
ec-at = stands for ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
eco = for ECONOMY, normal use.
pwr = for POWER, use each gear holds to higher RPM(torque).

cruise control light is on when I press the button but when hit the 'set' it doesn't work. Is there a fuse that needs replaced or something more?
You can check the fuse but I would lean more towards the set button being bad.
