Kia spectra 1.6 auto 20051/21/2024 ![]() You should re-read my post more carefully. As I said I'm not sure where that feed comes from on the spectra. What I was speaking of was the feed to the ecm that indicates the ac clutch is engaged. I didn't say the triple switch keeps the compressor off during acceleration. NGK would be cheaper but he swears by the bosch. My brother is running the bosch specials you're talking about in his 06 spectra5 without issues, I'm not saying you haven't experienced an issue with them I'm just offering up my personal experience. The original post says that trouble begins coming off a stop. If the iac is stuck open it would also cause high idle which isn't part of the complaint. I've personally never seen dirty injectors cause a severe loss of power then suddenly act normal. If the computer is not getting this information it could definitely cause what you're experiencing and could be intermittent. ![]() I'm not sure if the triple switch handles this function in this system but something has to notify the computer that the ac compressor is engaged so the the fuel trim and timing can be adjusted accordingly. On acceleration this should be out of the picture so I doubt its causing the loss of power during acceleration. It also operates during deceleration to allow some air through so the engine doesn't stall from the sudden loss of air from the throttle closing. I would also like to point out that the iac valve does not just function at idle. I personally think you would be wasting your time replacing them if you did them just 8 months ago, but that's just my opinion. I have used Bosch Platinum exclusively without any issues. I bought my 08 Rio brand new and have since replaced the plugs several times. Maybe I'm reading the post wrong.Have you had the problem for "several years" or "since getting the car" ? Please clarify.Īlso you might want to check for "codes" EVEN if the check engine light is not lit.ĪutoZone or Advance Auto will do this for FREE. several years is like two or three.new would have been six or seven. You said also "The issue that I have had since getting the car several years ago." then you said "I actually bought new with 25 miles on it". The gap setting is on a label under the hood. If you are using BOSH high end plugs.KIAs hate them and will run poorly. 039~.043 and ALWAYS use NGK or Nippon Denso plugs. The plugs I believe should be gapped for. You might want to check it and/or clean it (choke and carb cleaner). "If" it gets carboned up and is stuck partially closed it "would" restrict the air coming into the engine and effect performance. The IAC "idle air controller" inside the throttle body is a butterfly valve that adjusts theĪir intake "normally" during just idle. You said "it sounds like it would sound if you choked your mower".
