Asked by Gary Oct 09, 2017 at 08:05 AM about the 2004 Kia Sorento EX 4WD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Hello
Sometimes I start my kia and after a few seconds the engine cuts out when I try to start it again it either takes a while or will not start could this be a faulty starter motor/solenoid perhaps?
Kind regards any advice would be much appreciated

If the engine cranks it's not the starter ... many things could cause an engine to catch then quit but the starter isn't one of them
Hello Mark Thanks for that advice you say many things could cause an engine to catch then quit any common denominator which would be top of the list in your opinion? Kind regards
sounds more like a fuel problem, low pressure, maybe a fuel system check is in order
Hello Mark Many thanks for your advice your right that's exactly what it probably is I will get a fuel system check. Kind regards

While at it, check your fuel tank for any paint/tank liner coming off and clogging your filter,,,its happening to me right now and i have to say,,,its a pain in my day. Apparently its a commen 2004 sorento problem
Hi Unknown 404 Sorry for the delay in reply thanks for that it's happened again I had to get breakdown recovery and have fitted a new battery this was a week ago touch wood up to now it's been ok but I will get my fuel filter checked also, hope you've got yours sorted now.
