Hello: I am in OKC. It's been quite a while since I was on this forum, but I stopped in again for some info. I have a 2000 Sportage. I am about to change my plugs. I am getting misfire codes. The engine is definately mising as I accelerate. The ck engine lite is coming on (staying on now). It's 72K miles and probably time for some maintenance. I have hardly done anything to it but drive so I am not going to complain a bit. It is a great little rig. I thought about selling and getting a newer KIA but now I am thinking about doing what it needs and just driving it some more. I am hoping to change the timing belt while I am doing the plugs and hope it is easy. I don't see anything here about that procedure, but am still looking. I sure like this forum.

I DID Print the procedure on changing the plugs ... Thanks, Axe !

Is there anything particularly difficult about changing the timing belt? I will be making a stab at it soon.
