Asked by Julie Cullen
FOR the past year my 2001 Kia Carnival automatic has had serious performance problems. Sometimes it loses power abruptly, at others it does not produce the power it should. I have taken it to an auto-transmission specialist, but apparently nothing came up on the computer. I also took it to my mechanic and, though I paid more than $900, the fault could not be fixed. I don't like travelling too far because of it. Could it be a fuel or transmission problem?

17 Apr 2008INTERMITTENT faults can be hard to trace, so you have to go back to the basics and check everything. I doubt it's a transmission problem. It sounds more like an electrical or even a fuel problem, perhaps something as simple as an earth connection on a coil pack or clogged injectors. Take it to a Kia dealer and have it thoroughly checked.
