Sorry for posting such a thing.
A good friend of mine has a 2000 Kia sportage. She's brought it to the dealership on many occasions when the vehicle was under warranty. They always cleared the code charged her for "diagnosis time" and never gave her an explanation. Still throwing codes.
Just wondering if anyone here knows of a common component failure. I know nissans have similar issues and the charcoal canister purge solenoid is 99.9% the culprit. Do Kia's have a similar failing component. My shop is swamped with work and my friend wants me to fix it. The dealership has already raped her wallet with no fix.
I've already replaced the gas cap with an OE new cap. Still the codes arise. No leaks are apparent. I just dont feel like going through 5 pages of diagnosis from my mitchell repair manual.
Any help would be appreciated.
