Kia Stinger CK: Power Train / Spark Plug

Repair procedures
Inspection
[On vehicle inspection]
1.

Accelerate the engine to about 3,000 rpm 3 times or more.

2.

Remove the spark plug.

3.

Check the spark plug visually.

If the electrode is dry, the spark plug is normal.

If the electrode is wet, check the damage and electrode gap as below.

[Component Inspection]
1.

Check the spark plug for any damage on its thread and insulator.

If there is damage, replace the spark plug.

2.

Check the electrode. Measure the insulation resistance with an ohmmeter.

If the resistance is less than the specified value, adjust the electrode gap.

Specification: 10 MΩ or more

3.

Check the spark plug electrode gap.

If the gap is greater than the maximum, replace the spark plug.

Specification:

Theta-II 2.0 T-GDI : 0.8 - 0.9 mm (0.0314 - 0.0354 in.)

Lambda-II 3.3 T-GDI : 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.0394 - 0.0433 in.)

  

If adjusting the gap of a new spark plug, bend only the base of the ground electrode. Do not touch the tip.

Never attempt to adjust the gap on a used plug.

Removal
Theta-II 2.0 T-GDI
1.

Remove the ignition coil.

(Refer to Ignition System - "Ignition Coil")

2.

Using a spark plug wrench, remove the spark plug (A).

Lambda-II 3.3 T-GDI
1.

Remove the ignition coil.

(Refer to Engine Electrical System - "Ignition Coil")

2.

Components and components location Components 1. E-Shifter 2. Parking release actuator 3. Parking release cable 4. Parking release lever Schematic diagrams Circuit Diagram Description and operation Description • Operating Principle: Any change in the lever position is detected and transmitted via electric signals from the electronic shift lever ECU to the TCM.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Air bag non-inflation conditions

• In certain low-speed collisions the air bags may not deploy. The air bags are designed not to deploy in such cases because they may not provide benefits beyond the protection of the seat belts in such collisions. • Air bags are not designed to inflate in rear collisions, because occupants are moved backward by the force of the impact.
