Went out to the 2017 Kia Optima Hybrid in my driveway this afternoon and went to start it up and after pushing the start button and the system self check a "STOP VEHICLE AND CHECK BRAKES" warning appeared in the middle of the digital display. Now for the fun part... The car was driven earlier...

Been a while since we did the rounds of Kickstarter and Indiegogo, and after sifting through this afternoon we found three clever new auto accessories that are at the very least worth taking a closer look at. The first of the pack is the most practical, but as you work down the list they get a...

Hi everyone, i have been trying to find more info on code P0456. About 1 month ago my MIL came on and i used a wifi obd2 and read the code mentioned. I did a quick search and found replacing the gas cap should be the fix,so i purchased a new gas cap from the dealer while on a short road trip...

So, as I was driving around, my 4th gear was getting noticeably jerky, either in manual mode, or left on auto. Soon after, all the gears had the same jerky/rough upshift/downshift. As that happened, the check engine light kicked in. Knowing that the transmission case is supposed to be sealed...

Hey guys, thought i'd share an issue that just came up. Yestersay I was driving, normal city cruising when I noticed that I was trying to speed up and had no power (similar to when you have a cylinder not firing at low rpm), looked down and saw the check engine light flicked on. The car was...

I was doing a hill climb when the HEV battery gauge went to empty. Empty and blinking. The car shuddered and tried to stall. Wouldn't get above about 3K RPM on the tach. Was hobbled to about 25-30mph. After babying it a bit, and got some charge in the HEV battery, it started operating normally...

2012 Optima SX 37k miles, check engine light comes on this morning while my wife is driving it to work. Doesn't sound like it has a knock but acceleration has been greatly diminished. Anyone else have this issue? I had an appointment for tomorrow to get some service bulletins taken care of...

If some of you can pull the turbo inlet hose (connected to the OEM airbox) on the turbo side and let me know if you are seeing cracking. I had 3,800 miles on mine and it was starting to fail. We just had a 2016 2.0L come in with a shredded inlet hose. It appears the clamps may either be too...

So, as the thread title states, I picked up a borescope off amazon that connects to a laptop or android phone. I plan on trying to route it through the valve cover/oil pour hole and checking out the valves without having to remove the intake manifold... Any suggestions/pointers? Here's the...

I'm seeing many posts recommending check valves between the OCC to the Intake Manifold. I've called every fittings and plumbing business around and they have no idea where to get this item nor do they sell them. Where can I get 3/8" check valves for the Oil Catch Cans? What type? What brand?
