Kia Optima

By taking it to a professional who has the skill and the proper tools to accomplish this repair and to fix the leak. It is illegal to add refrigerant to any system without first repairing the leak.

On a 2005 Kia Optima, the fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank. To access it, you typically need to remove the rear seat cushion and then the access cover or, in some cases, drop the fuel tank itself. It's important to ensure the vehicle is properly supported and that safety precautions are taken when working with fuel systems.

All Kia Optimas are built to be run on regular unleaded (87 octane) gas. Any higher octane does not enhance performance on these cars as the fuel ignition system will compensate. As with all gasoline containing ethanol, use of a fuel system cleaner is recommended to prevent varnishing of the injector system.

The crank sensor (real name is crankshaft position sensor) senses when a notch on the crankshaft goes by and sends a pulse to the car's computer. This tells the computer where the crankshaft is in it's rotation so that the computer will fire the spark plug and injectors at the correct time.

first of all, what belts were changed? if the timing belt was changed and installed correctly, that shouldn't be the problem. it could however be a whole list of things. most likely a crankshaft position sensor, they are about 80 bucks. it also could be a cam position sensor, fuel pump or engine control module. without a scan tool, it will be a crap shoot. if it dies when it gets warm, i would go with the crank sensor. if it sounds like you have more than 1 battery hooked up, or it cranks really fast or wierd sounding, the timing belt is not in time. good luck!!

check fuel pump or ignition system

Yes, it will depending on the years of both 2.4 all enterchange

You may not need the reset button. Try disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a period of time, possibly up to 30 minutes. The RKE system on our Kia Optima often stops working, and unhooking the power makes it work again.

This is a vague question. Based on the simple question, I would suspect the ribbed belt that turns the power steering pump is getting wet and slipping. The power steering is essentially "broken" when the belt slips. This could be what you are experiencing. Replacing the belt and properly tensioning it should cure this problem. I'd also want to look into how water is getting to it. Are all the shields and covers that surround the engine still present? Are you driving through really deep puddles? Good luck!

I got so far and can't get the hub assembly off. I tookthe disk brakes off. Took the brake holder off. Removed the 4 bolts from the back that looks like it is holding the hub but the hub will not come off. Is it pressed in? Do I need to remove the drum brakes and pry off the hub?

No such switch exists, unless someone installed one. Perhaps an aftermarket alarm was installed and the switch was installed as an upgrade?

If it's anything like the 05, the trick is to remove the lever for the release fork before removing the transmission. This is because the clutch plate and release bearing becomes attached to each other. This is a pull type clutch pressure plate. Meaning that the release bearing fits into a clip that is part of the pressure plate assembly. Once you press the clutch pedal, the release bearing pulls the clutch pressure plate towards the transmission, allowing the clutch disc to be released from the engine flywheel. Once you remove the atuator arm, the pivot for the release shaft is free to rotate to release the release bearing from the fork. You should see the release bearing still attached to the pressure plate once the transmission is removed. Oh, one more thing, you will have to remove the subframe in order to gain access to the transmission for removal. My car has a 4 cylinder by the way. Oh there is one more thing. You have to reinstall the release lever to the release fork arm before installing transmission. If you fail to do this, the release arm may rotate without you being aware, therefore the release bearing will become dislodged from the release fork. That is the most critical step for reinstallation.

Same thing just happened to my 04 Kia Optima. It was caused by the Crankshaft position sensor. A real bear to get to also.

In order to install a CD player you have to remove the trim arround the radio and ac vents there should be 4 little connections one on the top left one on the top right one on the bottom left and one on the bottom right remove this and you will have access to the radio. You should see the screws connecting the radio

The PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve on most Optimas is screwed into the intake manifold. They are all steel construction and about 2" long. I got mine at AutoZone, part number PCV1171. When I called Kragen they asssured me that my car doesn't have one... they are wrong.

Trouble code P0560 means: System Voltage

The auto parts store tonight sold me 4 quarts for the oil change... Optima 2001 4 banger...

The actual amount of oil needed for an 1999 - 2003 Optima 4 cyl. is 4.5 qts. and 4.75 qts. for the V6. They use the same size oil filter.

There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.

the 2.7 liter holds 17.2 gallons. i dont know about the 4 cylinder.

The recommended oil will be in the manual but if you dont have it look on the oil cap if its not on the cap then choosing a oil is your choice DO NOT WORRY choosing an oil is really based on your preference of the veicle. for instance a new car would take a 5w-20 or a 5w-30 the reason is the engine is new and the oil is thin best for newer motors, this is also good if your in a state that is cold alot this helps for cold start ups, and good compression, however if your a "tuner person" switching to a 10w-30 would be better for you as the oil is a little bit thicker and the compression is increased very little creating more power this also keeps the valves and pistons lubricated longer or if the engine is a little older around 50,000 miles. A synthetic oil will last a lot longer and is very clean, a regular oil change is every 3000 miles or 3 months, a synthetic oil change is every 5000 miles. The best oil I like to use is Ams oil 10w-30 (very expencive but is excellent) if this is too much for you try Mobil synthetic (less expensive but very good) and my third choice would be Valvoline

The failure of the 2004 Kia 2.4 liter timing belt can cause severe damage to the piston heads and the valves. The timing belt failure can ruin the engine.
