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.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Automatic transmission operation

The automatic transmission has 8 forward speeds and one reverse speed. The individual speeds are selected automatically, depending on the position of the shift lever. ✽ NOTICE The first few shifts on a new vehicle, if the battery has been disconnected, may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and the shifting sequence will adjust after shifts are cycled a few times by the TCM (Transmission Control Module) or PCM (Powertrain Control Module).
