Some '95 do need a scanner. Make sure you have the actual plug as shown. Someone reported causing problems by jumping in an erraneaous manner, but without any further detail.

Yep, thats the plug,cant find any more yet on the car,to get the engine codes, i have to link it as a 1.6L,when its actually a 2.0L.

If linked as a 2.0L, the engine light blinks very faintly, hardly visable, there fore unreadable.

I just bought a SPORTAGE disc set off ebay,should be with me in a couple of days, will scan through, i am also going to approach my local KIA dealership to ask for a workshop manual suitable for the car.

Was hoping there may have been some KIA technicians who visit this site who could help aswell. Being a TOYOTA techy, i could then see about returning the favour :smile: .

Thanks for your input friend.

Yep,thats the plug, but the BLUE text appears to be incorrect :confused: .

Will scan disc when it arrives, getting a quote from my kia dealer tomorrow for a dealership workshop manual.

thank you for your efforts.

Yes my friend, i have that one aswell, cant see there what i need, disc hasnt arrived yet,so will use their contact link to see if they will release the infomation.

Ill give them my work details and government registion number for technicians and see if they will play ball.


Thanks for your time once again, i had another dabble at reading the code, using the 1.6L option.

Dizzy - no signal
No feed back system
2x codes for air flow
1 code for oxy sensor

The car as i said before is a 2.0L, so i think i may end up replacing air flow sensor, will have to wait till the week end now.

Merry xmass and happy new to all.
