How can I troubleshoot a faulty engine in my Kia Sportage?

My Kia Sportage's engine is not starting properly. It's making weird noises and has a weak acceleration. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It's possible that your Kia Sportage's engine is misfiring due to faulty spark plugs. I would recommend checking and replacing them if necessary. Also, have a mechanic perform a diagnostic to see if any other components are causing the issue.

If your Kia Sportage's engine is overheating, it could be a sign of a coolant leak or a malfunctioning radiator. Check for any visible leaks and have a professional inspect your radiator for any issues.

Low oil levels or a dirty oil filter can also cause engine problems in your Kia Sportage. Make sure to regularly check and change your oil and filter to avoid potential issues.
