Asked by reggievaughn1 Jun 20, 2014 at 11:58 PM about the Kia Rio
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
engine starts fine from a cold start however the engine warms up and I drive five or six miles the engine shuts down. I've been taking the plugs out (new plugs mind you) cleaning them then replacing them and then the engine starts and I drive five or six miles and the same problem occurs. Please help!
75K is about how long a belt will last, so you should have it changed- this is CRITICAL- but the belt is not what is causing your problem, and I don't think the plugs are causing it- take it to a good mechanic, have the belt changed and find out what's causing your engine to shut down-
It's probably a bad coil that cuts off after heating up
