Spark plugs wires connection

Kia Sephia 2001  180541 miles
My vehicle had a failure in the spark plugs wires, so I decided to change them. But now, the problem is that I've connected wrongly. Please help me by telling me where I should connect each wire, as I've installed them all the way around and do not remember the correct one.

Start connecting them from the first cylinder.

Vibration when accelerating

Kia Sephia 2000  140000 miles
Hello, my Sephia has a failure that appears intermittently, every now and then. When starting to drive at first gears, every time I accelerate, the car vibrates. As I release the accelerator, the vibration stops. And even more, the harder I accelerate, the stronger the vibration is. But as I set higher gears, the car vibrates less every time and, at 5th gear, it is not felt any more. I've already changed bearings, spark plugs wires and spark plugs, but the problem persists. Does anyone know anything about it?

It is easy: check the front bearings, which must be distorted and need to be replaced. This happened to me and, after changing them, it is now working properly.

It is the engine chargers that are damaged. If you can, I recommend you to change the ones from the gearbox just as well and it will work perfectly.

I suspect problems with rotating parts- discs, shafts, inner and outer cvs, wheels, rims etc. Check them all out and by elimination you will find the culprit.

Chokes when warm

Kia Sephia 2000  263000 miles
Hi, buddies. I have a Kia Sephia II 2000 and its problem is that, when reaching half of the temperature, it starts choking. I then accelerate and it does not respond. I stop it, start it again and it works properly but only a block and the same occurs. I have already changed coils, fuel pump, wires, filters and nothing was solved. The scanner does not indicate any failure. I do not know what else to do.

I also have a Kia Sephia 2000 with the same choking problem. I've changed the catalytic converter but nothing changed. I am now thinking about replacing candles and wires; I'll then tell you what happened.
