Hi there,
Inconsistent starting , engine won't catch, then does for a second, then
dies. Sometimes takes ten tries to start, sometimes starts first time.
Hot weather, cold weather, hot engine, cold engine, foot off the gas pedal
at startup, foot on the gas, full tank, empty tank. It seems to make no
difference. I tried higher octane fuel - no difference.
Had the 40,000 KM tuneup done and I thought it would be gone - but it
wasn't and isn't.
The kids are scared to borrow the car now (not that that's a bad thing...)
Any ideas???

Sorry, '06 Kia Rio5 owners aren't taken seriously on these boards.

Take of the air filter have someone start it and spray the crap out of it
with injector cleaner , worth a try for around $5.
