La power loss on a Kia Picanto is a rather recurrent syndrome. However, the reasons could be various. What may be linked to a loss of power? Is the engine stalling due to defaut ? Is it just a problem of sensor ? We will answer all these questions through this file, listing the particularly usual reasons. In case the Kia Picanto works perfectly when you have restarted the engine, it is probably a problem electronic . If, on the other hand, the problem remains, it is useful to investigate the causes. Because this will probably save you from having to replace several components at your mechanic's.power-loss-Kia-Picanto

Kia Picanto power loss: the most common reasons

We will now see what will be the reasons for your problem and how to fix it.

Kia Picanto: a flow meter problem.

Le lack of power of your Kia Picanto is sometimes linked to an air flow meter problem. This engine component has the role of calculating the amount of air in the engine, allowing to optimize the engine capacities. In the event that this sensor has a problem, the injectors will not inject the appropriate amount of fuel Consequence: a loss of power.

Air compression problem

Whether it is a compressor or a turbo compressor, the problem will be rather similar. the compressor has the role of propelling the air within the engine of the Kia Picanto. If it is defective, the air dose may decrease. Since an engine requires a perfect mixture of air and fuel to operate, its capacities may therefore be reduced. Dig a few minutes to diagnose the problem, as changing it is quite expensive.

Loss of power: an injection problem?

In the event that your Kia Picanto has power losses or even jerks, it happens that the injection is in question. Feel free to browse our article on injector failures to find out a little more. Do not delay in solving this problem, its consequences could be extremely important on the engine.

The particle filter of your Kia Picanto is clogged

There may be several reasons for the problem. In order to limit the impact on the environment, vehicles now have safety systems. In the event that your Particulate Filter fails, it can happen that your vehicle protects itself and prevents strong acceleration. The second consequence is mechanical. Your clogged fap is preventing the Kia Picanto's engine from breathing. The consequence is therefore a loss of performance.

Lack of acceleration: an electronic fault

This is unfortunately a rather usual reason. It is likely that Kia Picanto sensors, or electronic chips have a defect. The message sent to your on-board computer means that it will be able to activate security. This is to avoid permanent problems with the engine. So, if you want to remedy this problem, check the sensor connections. This kind of problem is often accompanied by a warning light on the dashboard. If this is not the case, go to a mechanic, the diagnosis will be easier to perform. Be careful and see you soon!
