I have kia optima2006 model, have around 118,000 miles, car will not rev up over 2500 rpm, car was taken to kia dealer, a new trottle position assembly was installed, problems, still the maxium speed 30 - 40 miles per hour.

Normally it will happen after I have been driving it for a while. For example, if I am on the highway, after about 30 minutes it will shut off on me. I can wait about 20 minutes or so and it will start back up.

I just had the front struts replaced, they were original and was told at inspection they needed to be replaced. About a week after the repair, the car started making a creaking noise when you turned the wheel. I took it back to the repair place and was told the cushions for the struts were worn out. I had them both replaced on the front end. The mechanic took it for a test drive and said everything was fine. The car is now making a creaking notice when you accelerate and when stop. It almost sounds like the wheels are rubbing. Could you tell me what it could possibly be ?

after the struts were replaced, I picked the car up and about a week later, the front end started making a knocking noise when you turned. took the car back to the repair place and was told the cushions that the struts sat in were worn out. had the cushions replaced yesterday. - mechanic took the car for a test drive and said everything was fine. the car is now making a creaking notice when you start out and when you stop. what could possibly be wrong ?

When I am driving with or without air conditions on. What do I check first .

It worked for 2 days and know it won't start again I think its not get power but that battery is fine what could it be

The battery was completely disconnected for 3 weeks timing is spot on, have fuel and spark. Does the ECU need to be reset or flashed? Why wont it start?

I have had to replace the crankshaft position sensor on my 2006 kia optima two times in the last 3 months. The mechanic said it was just a bad sensor, but after two new sensors there must be something else going on. What would cause this problem?
