2000 Sephia

-Last night, filled tank in 2000 Sephia with no previous signs of malfuntion. Drove home and parked it for about an hour.


-Upon ignition, engine sputtered, but idled OK. During acceleration, ran very rough. After about three blocks, turned around and drove the trusty Volvo for 20 mile trip instead.


-This morning, drove Kia about 2 miles to buy new fuel filter. On the way, noted that sputter occured in mid-throttle. Replaced filter, and restarted.


-Let idle for several minutes and increased throttle. Sputtering still occuring.


-Car has 52K miles. Bosch plugs and K&N filter only a few months old.


What next?


Replaced plugs/wires, cleaned injectors...runs like a champ! Thnaks!
