Dohc not working?
 

as the title says i bought a 2002 kio rio for my g/f couple of days ago and when i hit the gas it seems like the dohc is not kicking in. Any ideas on how to fix it. Or how to test it. I know those motors don't push out alot. it fells like a reguler 1.5L not a 1.5 dohc

wtf....uh yea...

DOHC kicking in... :loser:

:loser: :laugh:

wtf .... :smilie_au

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I hope this was a joke. My read this to my wife and she says :loser: . If not well :gotooprah

dohc
 

So does anyone know how to test this? lol!

Just disconnect the timing belt from one gear and see if it still runs? Oh but that won't work on a VW DOHC setup.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

omg this is 2 funny dohc kicking in hahaha

:laugh: :laugh: :appl: :appl:

:appl: :smilie_au :hah: :laugh: :laugh: :appl: :appl:

Hahaha....

Anyways...

It may FEEEEEL like a SOHC...but if the thing runs...and u say it IS a DOHC...than the DOHC is "kicking in" HOWEVER just cuz u have SOHC or DOHC does not mean u'll FEEL a difference...the FEELING u get in a car is TORQUE...and having a DOHC version of a motor that also comes SOHC doe snot mean u gain more torque...it may however have in this case of a Kio like u said, i coulda sworn they r Kia's...makes 5HP more...

Its negligable to say the least...


EDIT: I actually just checked Kia's website and buddy, your an idiot...They dont even offer a SOHC engine for the new Rio...DOHC only...and the thing makes a pathetic 104HP at 5800rpms and 104ftlbs of torque at 4700rpms... THEREFORE ur feeling NOTHING...

well sorry people for asking a STUIPED question I don't know about cars. I wish I new more because then it would save me alot of money the only reason why i asked is because i been in alot of dohc and they pull i just thought this car would do. I am not use to these little motors every car I drive is a v6 or 8. I just bought it for my g/f because its her first car

Wait.... so that was a serious question???? LOL
