Not sure if any of the apps that connect to Bluetooth dongles go into more detail about fuel injectors and whatnot?

Have you scanned for codes? Not all faults throw an EML up and on a 57 plate it should have sensors all over the shop.
Not sure if any of the apps that connect to Bluetooth dongles go into more detail about fuel injectors and whatnot?
My dongle won't connect to it, and I've got an adapter winging its way to me. This was just me jumping the gun a bit.
From what's being discussed on the US forums for Kia and Hyundai, the delta and theta v6 suffer a lot from coil pack issues. Interestingly I came across the following youtube video about a santa fe suffering similar issues and turning out to the the crank sensor wiring.
Worth considering!

That's smashing, didn't think about checking YT, the front bank coil packs were all swapped around between each other and confirmed to be working (at £130 each, I'm bloody glad!) So I'll look at the video again and do some more digging!

1st pic is for a 2008 model with the later theta engine with the vvt, 2nd pic is if you have the earlier delta engine.
Optima is the USA name for the Magentis if you weren't aware ☺

How come when I had this bugger and asked the same questions, everyone deafened me with total silence yet 'Mr Popularity' gets all the help and assistance? Am I that unpopular?
I guess I can answer my own question... yes, yes I am really unpopular

Please clean something interior-wise in the interim. It would help, I guarantee* it.
Please.

I've also managed to wangle borrowing my mates code reader are the end of the week so I can look further into the running issues.
Hopefully, we can get somewhere with this soon, as the Rover runs out of MOT next month and I'd quite like to get this out and about for a while.

I haven't, but I didn't feel it was necessary because it was both temporary and intermittent.Have you done a compression test on the affected cylinder and compared it with a working one? Just to rule out mechanical problems. Is the timing correct?
No idea if the timing is correct, or indeed how to check on modern cars.
In my defence, I did set the timing on this earlier this week!

There may well be an ignition live to the injectors, but a switched return to earth. Can you switch the plugs between injectors to see if the problem follows the wiring? Or buy a noid light.

Could you just clean something in the car, just a small patch of something?
Just a little bit...... please. It's kind of making me twitch.

One of the sides is usually common to a half the injectors.

Well, this happened a month ago, but I finally moved the Kia out to scrub off the copious amounts of bird shit.

As you can see, it was pretty encrusted.
160418-94 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
A quick scrub later...

This was a month ago. I'll go outside in a second and post a picture of what the car looks like now.

So. I felt guilty about leaving the Kia alone for so long, so I did some work to it.
Trevithick Day2018-1 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
It needed moving over a bit so I could open all the doors.
Kia170518-2 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Cor, look at the state of that. Can't be having that, can we?
Kia170518-3 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Let's get this out for a proper clean.
Kia170518-4 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
First up, the rear seat squab. Two clips on the front, and two 12mm bolts on the back.
Kia170518-5 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Pretty clear-cut where the dirt begins and stops
Kia170518-6 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
SO. MUCH. HAIR.
Kia170518-7 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Rear seat squab out, now to get the rest of the rear seat out.
Kia170518-8 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Kia170518-9 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Kia170518-10 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Kia170518-11 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Piece of cake.
Next up, parcel shelf trim bits, and eventually the parcel shelf itself.
Kia170518-12 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Kia170518-13 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
And out! Bit fiddly, but manageable.
Kia170518-16 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
As a billy bonus, underneath the parcel shelf was a bit of trim that was missing. Happy days!
Kia170518-14 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
The cat came out to the car to find out why I was taking so long.
Kia170518-15 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Next up, all four kickplates to come off. Hate these snappy clipped buggers.
Kia170518-17 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Kia170518-22 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Kia170518-23 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
The seatbelt pillar lower trim, was next to come off. Forgot to take an after shot.
Kia170518-24 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Next, the front seats. The passenger side nuts were quite corroded.
Kia170518-25 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Even the feet of the seat were corroded. Not good on an 11 year old car.
Kia170518-26 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Lots of space inside now.
Kia170518-27 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
SevenPoundCar is now SixPoundCar. Aside from this and a couple of golf tees, there were no fun freebies anywhere.
Kia170518-28 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Centre console out next. Gear knob was thankfully an unscrewing jobby rather than a pull and pray type.
Kia170518-29 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
The ashtray is probably a source of the strong tobacco smell. Can't confirm or deny though.
Kia170518-30 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Footwell trim and foot rest next.
Kia170518-31 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Bit of shoving later, and the carpet came out relatively painlessly.
Kia170518-32 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Which left us with this
Kia170518-33 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
And, quite a surprise. Every available opening and aperture had some form f corrosion. Probably due to living by the seaside for a while.

Kia170518-19 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Rear door cards came off. Fronts were clean enough to get away with it.
Kia170518-40 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
Then, many swears later (I mean, who the fuck glues the loom to the headlining through one loom, then doesn't provide an easy disconnection point?)
Kia170518-41 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
The dangling loom in question.
Kia170518-42 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
So, I was finally left with this at the end of the day.
Kia170518-43 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
And left with a large "to-clean" list. Pictures with helper dog for scale.
Kia170518-44 by Fat Harris, on Flickr
The priority for this now is to wirebrush the corrosion I found, and give it a quick lick of paint. Then, clean everything as it goes back in.
WATCH THIS SPACE.

I believe so, I didn't investigate further at the time. I'm guessing it's from wet dogs from trips to the beach, dripping on the carpet.Quite strange locations for the rust blebs are the not sealed from underneath?

That corrosion is weird.
Liking the lengths that you go to re: interior cleaning. Approval rating 11/10.

Fuck that's a good effort. I was going to take the front seats out of the Civic to clean it/them, you've gone slightly* further than that!
