Re: 2000 Kia Sportage Starting Problems

These new cars are an absolute pain in the ass. Why should one sensor knock out others and not allow the engine to start. The mass airflow
sensor is a bloody joke. None of these cars really need them. Its just more crap to make things go wrong so the garages can gouge the public.
Governments should clamp down on these automakers and with the modern technology, cars should be simpler to work on, not more
difficult. On the kia sportage for example, the oil filter is almost upside down, when you remove it you got to have rag around it and then you spill some oil. I would have fired the design engineer who designed the motor to have the oil filter upside down. How stupid can these so called engineers get. Guess its like the rest of our society, going all to hell. The mechanics, (oops, auto technicians) must have a nightmare trying to fix the vehciles built today. Cars have been built for over a hundred years and the auto manufacturers can't get them right yet. Look at all the recalls. Can't beat the old cars of the 50's and 60's. Guess thats nuff said.
