i have a 97 kia sephia that when you first start it, will blow thick exhaust smoke out of the back. it smells like burnt smoke. it will do that after it has been sitting up for awhile, but if you let it sit for awhile, it will not do it. after it has been running for awhile, it will quit.

Q: Can I claim compensation or sue Kia for selling me faulty products?
I recently bought a new body panel from a company who sell Genuine Kia parts. I had the panel sprayed and then went to fit it today. To my horror the part I bought from this company has a piece missing where it connects to the chassis. Who is to blame for this? Kia or the company I bought it from? What compensation am I entitled to?
A: At this point, the only compensation you are entitled to is a correctly manufactured part, if in fact the one you received was defective. It is quite possible that the missing piece you mention is actually a separate part. Above that, there isn't much else you would be owed. As aggravating as it may be, being inconvenienced and upset does not a lawsuit make.
Q: How to change a serpentine belt on a 2004 kia Optima 4cyl?
I wanted to know how would you change a serpentine belt on a 2004 Kia Optima 4cyl and what are the tools need?
A: 1. Check to see if there is a belt routing diagram sticker under the hood, if not, draw one yourself. The routing can be a major pain in the behind if you forget how the belt goes and nothing to reference it by.
2. A socket with a breaker bar, or sometimes just the breaker bar itself (on a belt tensioner with a square drive to release tension), can be used a lot of times. Sometimes there is no room to get these tools in there and you will have to use a serpentine belt tool to release the tension. It's a free loan-a-tool at Autozone. Probably easier just to get one in the first place, while you are getting the belt. It has a nice long handle for good leverage.
3. Release the tension on the belt and hold the tool with one hand, while taking the belt off with the other hand. Release the tool you are using to hold the belt tensioner(slowly, it's a strong spring).
4. Put the new belt on using the belt routing diagram. Put it on over every pulley except one. Pull the tensioner loose again and slip the belt over the last pulley and let the tool go. You are pretty much done. Just check to make sure the belt is seated in all the pulleys correctly before starting. I usually "bump" the starter a couple of times before starting it, just to help seat the belt.
Q: How do I fix my gear box in my Kia Sephia?
My automatic shift stick on my gear box in my 2001 Kia Sephia will not shift unless there is something (screwdriver) inserted in a little hole to the right of the stick. It seems to be a common problem as the manual told me to insert a screwdriver. How do I fix this problem?
A: You have a 10 year, 100,000 mile power train warranty from Kia. Why not go to the dealer and use it?
Q: why does my 2006 kia rio have a problem starting after filling with gas?

Q: How do I get to the cabin air filter of 2005 Kia Spectra?
I don't know how to get grommets out that are near the glovebox. I need to install a cabin air filter and need to get to the fan as well. (Once before a piece of paper had gotten to fan and fan rattled horribly--Kia fixed it. Now I need to do it myself. Need directions on how to do this.
