No problem. It was actually just my phone but it has a pretty decent camera. It was frustrating to attempt the repair without help so I'm glad I could do something to remedy that for others. Thank you for watching
It could be a starter. Could also be a fuse or solenoid. You could try checking the fusebox for a starter fuse and see if swapping that out helps. Or you could try tapping on the starter with a screw driver and see if you can get it to crank over.
@Samuel J if it wasn't starting before the tap, then you tapped it and it worked, it's most likely the starter. It's probably getting bound up inside due to wear and tear.
@Samuel J if you think it could be a fuse or solenoid, you can usually test it by replacing the fuse/solenoid with another working one from the car. They need to be the same type/amperage. Just make sure the one you pull to test with won't prevent the car from starting if its missing
14mm just in case someone needs to know that…most of the Kia/Hyundai lineup uses 12mm-14-mm most commonly when working on one some bolts will be 17s here and there but most of the vehicle is made up of 12s and 14s!!
The video was a great help, only difference was my 2004 have 3 screws.
Thank you! And I appreciate you commenting the difference. I pinned it so others can see if they have your year-model
Thanks for your time to do this video. In 2002 Kia Spectra it have 3 bolts. Regards from Costa Rica
1.8 it wasn’t easy did mine today what a pain but it’s done thank bro you were a great help👍
No problem. I'm glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
As a baritone myself, I appreciate this sexy ass tutorial, brother. My Mother's Spectra is ever so slightly less of a massive piece of shit now 🤘
@TheRealWoofer 2 thumbs up 👍 for this comment, my man. Much appreciated
Must have recorded this with something nice you were able to give up close detail. Thanks man.

Pretty good camera work
Thank you!
If the car turns on when I turn the key (lights and radio come on) but doesn’t turn over the engine… think that’s the starter? Thanks

@@professionalprofessor2719 awesome thank you for your reply! We will try this. Much appreciated
@@professionalprofessor2719if I can tap it and it turns on, then the starter is good still? And it’s probably a fuse or solenoid?

Greetings and thanks for this post. Is this similar for a 2006 Kia Optima?
I don't know if it is similar or not. They are the same manufacturer but different engines I believe. Thanks for the comment!
@@professionalprofessor2719 Thanks for the reply. 🙌🏾
Awesome thanks broski
What size is the bolt ? Very essential in getting the correct tools to do so
I can't remember for sure. It was metric. I'm pretty sure they were 14mm but it's been a little while since I did it
