Re: Engine Computer

Hi Jimmy. I think you are driving that 2000 Sportage at really high altitudes there. These computers are sturdy and most of the time they are blamed for other causes. Can you explain your symptoms more in detail? I or others here might find the part number but please forward some more details about your problems.
Bye

engine computer

Its not that I have problems with the Engine Computer the thing is that the part got stolen. Apparently its quite common in Bolivia, since the car cant run without the part and nobody has the parts in stock, its a very profitable black market business.

Re: Engine Computer

WOW! That is indeed a good reason.....

0K08B18881 for 2000 and up. That is what the Kia dealer service told me. I'll try to have a glance at mine also and check if I can read something on it....

Another number was given me by a scrap yard operator:
261207309 probably what was printed on the ECM
he has one in stock for $175. canadian tx included

Re: Engine Computer

..I'll see what I can do to cross check those 2 infos.....

.update:.....for the time being, seems they are unable to find your vin...think they here have only canadian numbers here...or they do not look deep enough....
mine is a 2000 also (4 door auto 4x4 not EX) and vin quite different:
KNDJA7235Y5678877.....at least it has a K

update:
I have posted a request here:
http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showfl...=5&o=2&fpart=1

Check for reply.

I tried to match your vin against the KIA grid....and it looks really odd: here is what we should see :

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM FOR KIA SPORTAGE
digit
1 Country K Korea

2 MANUFACTURER N = Kia Motors Corporation

3 VEHICLE TYPE D = Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV)

4 Trim

5 SERIES A= Sportage 4 Wheel Drive
B = Sportage 2 Wheel Drive

6-7 BODY TYPE 62 = 2Door Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV)
72 = 4Door SportsUtility Vehicle(SUV)

8 ENGINE 3 = FE DOHC 2.0 Liter

9 CHECK DIGIT 0-9 o r X

10 MODEL YEAR w = 1998 x = 1999 Y = 2000 1 = 2001

11 ASSEMBLY PLANT 5 = Asan Bay

12-17 123456 serial number

May be this grid applies only to vehicles built for North America!
