Mechanics is a relatively Cartesian profession. However if there is indeed a problem which is sometimes hard to understand, it is unstable idling or loss of acceleration. Whether for a Kia Carens 2, or any type of vehicle. However, we can help you figure it out. In fact, the reason can come from a lot of engine components, even electronic. To find the source of the Kia Carens 2 failure, you need to follow a fairly simple procedure. But first of all, we will see the symptoms of a bad idle.
Idling problem on a Kia Carens 2: symptoms
Un unstable idle close to stall . This is undoubtedly the most recurring problem in slow motion. This feeling that the engine is going to stall while driving at an ordinary speed, or that the Kia Carens 2 grazes . It even happens that stalling occurs. In this case, it is really dangerous for the driver. If so, don't wait too long to deal with it. We suggest that you perform a diagnosis via the paragraph below. We can also understand that your Kia Carens 2 has a concern for acceleration . No link in this case with a concern of low regime. Losses of power and acceleration holes are going to happen for many reasons. These two phenomena should not be confused. We invite you to read our files related to power losses.
Kia Carens 2: develop a diagnosis to understand the origin of idling
You should start by performing several relatively simple checks, before going into more detail.
Idling of the Kia Carens 2: exhaust fumes.
A black smoke escapes from the exhaust. This usually implies that the air and fuel mixture is out of adjustment. Or the air filter is clogged. In both situations, a problem with idling can occur on your Kia Carens 2. White smoke escapes from the exhaust. This time too it can be the result of a disorder. White smoke is usually water vapor. It is therefore plausible that it is a concern of admission or the cylinder head gasket.
Engine components check
As we have seen, a problem with idling on the Kia Carens 2 could come from several points. You must therefore take the time to carefully browse the engine. However, it is suggested to be extremely cautious and not to tamper with the engine components, as this may make the problem worse or cover up the cause of the concern. We obviously recommend that you go to a mechanic for a more in-depth check. Here are therefore point by point the constituents to check.
- The first thing to do is check all of the hoses . They can be pierced or even detached.
- You also have to look at the sensors and sensors of your engine. It is however complicated to control their good functioning. Tutorials are easily found on youtube, and this usually requires electronic devices.
- Perform a control of pressures hydraulic. Once again, the pressure tests require the appropriate tools.
Idling malfunctions are common, however, are difficult to recognize. A visual check on your Kia Carens 2 gives the opportunity to have an idea, however it is still better not to venture into amateur DIY.
