Engine Performance problem
2002 Kia Rio 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 65000k miles

Gday. My Rio loses power and stalls after about an hour highway driving in hot weather only, goes good in cool weather. Have replaced oxygen sensor. Also has a very strong smell when it starts playing up. If I turn it of and wait 5 or 10 minutes it will go ok for a while and start playing up again. Any help would be muchly appreciated. Regards Pikey.

When this happens, have you checked to see if there is spark and fuel to the engine?
