Kia - Sedona :: 2002 - Gunk On Oil Cap


Feb 16, 2012

I was checking my oil the other day and when I removed the cap there was this whitish film stuff and gunk on it. This is the first time I have noticed this and was wondering what is it, what causes it and should I be concerned? My car is a 2002 Kia Sedona Mini van 6 cylinder with about 147,000 miles on it and it has had regular oil changes for the past year plus that I have owned it.

Kia - Sedona :: 2002 - Engine Sputtered A Bit / CEL Came On And Then Went Off

About a week ago while driving to work my engine sputtered a bit and the CEL came on and then went off. As I drove the sputtering reoccurred when I would accelerate from being stopped but went away when I got to higher speeds. Again the CEL came on. Next day I took it to the dealership who read a P306 code and was told it was an issue with the No. 6 cylinder. After driving a few more miles the sputtering stopped happening. The next day I got in, started the van and no more CEL. That was last Wed, and since then I have done over 150 miles of driving and no sputtering and the CEL has not come back on. Could I have just gotten some bad gas or something that caused the brief sputtering and CEL.

Kia - Sedona - Mini - Van :: 2002 - Won't Start In Cold?

We are getting hit again here in Indy with harsh temps. So far this winter my 2002 Kia Sedona Mini van has handled it pretty well, until this morning. I went out to start it and it wouldn't. Well it finally did but took a while. Normally I get in turn the key and it starts. This morning I tried that it started then died. I tried to restart and it would turn over but not start. This continued for a few minutes until I had to pump the pedel and keep it depressed a little before it would start. Once it started I gave it a little gas and everything was okay and it ran just fine. What might have been the cause to this early morning cold starting issue?

Kia - Sedona :: 2002 - Sputtering When Began To Accelerate And Then CEL Came On

Yesterday while driving to work I noticed my car sputtering when I began to accelerate and then the CEL came on. Well it did it some more yesterday afternoon but after sitting for about 7 hours while I was at work I drove it home last night without any issue. Then this morning drove around running errands and not one sign of sputter at all.

Stopped by the Kia dealership and they read the code which I believe was 306 and they said it was showing the number 6 cylinder misfiring/spark plug/wire problem. They said it could be a bad plug or wire or coil but wouldn't know till they looked at it which they will in about a week. But still driving and no signs of any sputter. What might have caused the temp sputter and code and how do I reset the CEL to see if the code goes off again?

Kia - Sedona :: 2002 - Vibration In Steering Wheel And Front End

Took my 2002 Kia Sedona mini van in this past weekend to have it checked out do to the vibration in the steering wheel and sever left turn in my front end when I let go of the steering wheel. Luckily I found out that it just needs an alignment really bad and 4 new tires as all four have issues. None of the four are in "dangerous" condition but need to be replaced. Problem is the cost to replace all 4 and due the alignment is outside of my budget. I can do the front two and the alignment this coming weekend and replace the other two next month. My question is will not replacing the back two impact on the alignment?

Kia - Sedona :: 2002 - Rear Heating Lines Rusting Away

I have a 2002 Kia Sedona mini van and one of the issues with this van is that the metal cooling lines that run from the engine area back to the back of the van heating core rust away and have to be replaced. Can you just cut those away and put like a u joint on it so that the anti freeze doesn't go back there and thus reducing the huge cost of replacing those lines? Yes I know that means no heat in the back of the van but I don't use the heat back there now and haven't through this past horrible winter. I am just trying to reduce the cost I am looking at for this repair that I know I am going to have to address in the coming months.

My driver side front head light compartment continually has moisture inside of it. My question(s) are how does that happen, and is there a way to stop it without just replacing the entire unit? The head light works okay but figure that this can't be a good thing.

Kia - Sedona - Mini - Van :: 2002 - Difference Between Back And Front Brakes?

I have been told that my back brakes need replacing and the place suggested it would need to include replacing the drums. They wanted about $400 for new drums and pads and such. I have never in all the years I have owned a car had to ever have anything but pads replaced on any of my cars brakes. I have had the car checked a number of times and no one till this last place who was also replacing my front wheel baring said anything about needing new drums and such. If the drums were that bad would you not hear something or feel something while braking?

My car: 2002 Kia Sedona Mini van/149,000 miles on it, I got it with 135,000 on it and have not had any break work done to this point because I was told it wasn't needed.

Kia - Sedona - Mini - Van :: 2002 - Sound Coming From Rear Shock?

I have a 2002 Kia Sedona mini van with about 143,000 miles on it. It runs great outside of a noise I am getting from the rear driver side wheel. When ever I go over a bump I get a clank sound. Took it to the dealership and they told me it is due to shock, but that the shock is not bad. they said that a rubber piece on the shock and mounting area is missing and that the metal sound is coming from where that rubber piece would be. They took me and showed me and at the top of the shock where it attaches to the car there is no rubber and when they pushed the car up and down I could see the the two pieces of metal would hit and make the sound. The dealership said they saw nothing wrong with the shock itself and feel it is safe, however they were not sure how this rubber piece feel away.

Does this make any sense?

Camry :: 2003 - How To Remove Gunk And Sludge From Engine

My 2003 camry had black oil when I bought the car. I flushed the engine with motor flush two times. Very dark oil came out both times. But when I did third time oil was clear.

I do not have any oil pan or valve cover leak. Do I need to drop the oil pan to clean the gunk if there any?Do I have to clean the oil pick up also?

If the oil is dirty and black does it mean gunk built up in oil pan and oil pick up strainer?

I peeped through the valve cover but I did not see any gunk in the cylinder head.

Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: 2005 - White Gunk In Bottom Of Canister

Just got it a couple weeks ago from auction. 2005 CCSB Lariat FX4 automatic. I have been running through the truck and replacing every filter and anything that needs replacing. Most filters on the truck were wix, everything now is back to OEM.

The truck had the infamous check TFT and flashing overdrive on the dash and wouldn't shift over 3rd gear. I changed the transmission fluid a couple weeks back when I went to sort out a TFT flashing overdrive problem. The fluid that came out of the truck was new fluid and so was the TFT sensor so my assumption is someone had tried to fix the transmission problem by changing the TFT sensor but in reality one of the harness connector pins was bent all the way over (the pin that went to the TFT of all pins). Easy fix but I still replaced the TFT and the complete harness since I was that far in the transmission before I found the broken pin. New harness, trans fluid, and TFT sensor. But I stole the truck from auction because everyone thought it had major transmission problems. easy enough fix in the drive way.

Today I went to replace the transmission filter after receiving it from diesel filters online and finding my 22mm socket. The filter change was easy and strait forward. The filter itself looked pretty bad and there was about 2-3 oz of this white gunk in the bottom of the metal canister. What it is? Is it going to be a problem?

Kia - Sedona :: Vibration Between 38 - 48 MPH

I have a 2004 Kia Sedona Van with approximately 107,000 miles. The last month, I noticed it seems between 38-48 MPH.You will suddenly feel a vibration like you ran over "wake up bumps" though not as rough. It has lasted a couple to maybe 5 seconds. The vibration may not happen but once a day or can happen couple times a day. There can be a couple of days that it does not do it. I had the front end check-tires and there was no problems.
