    NEVERMIND i got my questions answered.... Hey everyone, So my car is leaking fuel in the engine bay. Took my car in to the dealer and the guy that was helping me didn't seem very intelligent in what he was talking about. First he gave me an update saying that it was my low pressure fuel line...

    I was just given a set of mounted snow tires for my 2012 EX. There are no sensors in the wheels. If I put these on will it set off the low pressure warning? If so, can that warning be disabled?

    Car is an '11 optima 2.0t. I never read the TPS before the BTR tune, but after the tune the TPS read a max of 94.3 for a few days and then dropped to a max of 86.1, where it has been for a couple months now. Is that just the norm for these, or should it read 100? Boost isn't weird, but I'm...

    I know one can view tire pressure for all 4 tires in the speedometer dash where there is a smaller LCD situated. However is there a way to view this information on the UVO/nav screen as well. Thanks!

    How accurate is the tire pressure as it shows up the cars dash screen?My digital gauge and manual gauge both are in line with each other, but the cars pressure reads 1.5-2.0 pounds lower. I am thinking the cars monitoring system may not be all that great and that has been evident on my dads 2015...

    Hello! Yesterday I performed an oil change and tire rotation on my 2014 Optima EX. I have done this many times and have not had any problems in the past. I took the car for a quick drive after I rotated the tires and everything seemed fine. This morning, as I left the house/went down my...

    Cooler weather is beginning to move in, and your tire pressures will drop with the temperatures. Your TPMS is probably set for something like 27 psi before it alerts you, so you could be running around with your tires down 4 or 5 psi and not know it. I'm anal about tire pressure, so I check...

    What tire pressure do you guys run for 20" wheels? Do you stick with 35 psi (factory 18"), or higher to prevent bend on wheels? Pease advise.

    2013 Kia Optima SXL 2nd Owner 69k miles on the odometer / out of warranty. Out of the blue I lost power while driving, then the check engine light came on which kicked out the code "P0087 DTC - Fuel Rail/System Pressure Too Low". Now this might be incorrect, but I'm assuming since the car...

    The Optima calls for 34 psi all around. For me, that made my SXL a little jittery on neighborhood roads. Since I'm accustomed to running 32 psi in my cars' tires, I adjusted my Optima's pressures down to 32. Now, you might not think 2 psi would make much of a difference, but it does ... my car...

    if you can help me out i would appreciate it !!
  16. The Service Center
    Does anyone know what tire pressure level triggers the low tire pressure warning light? About once a month my light comes on and says the back driver's side tire is low. Whenever I check the pressure it's never been lower than 32. I'll air it back up and the light goes off. But it will...
  17. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I noticed that my Optima SXL has a label that states that my tire pressure should be 35 psi on all for tires. Well, I looked at the tire side walls on my Hankooks and they have a max psi of 51. Therefore, I decided to bump up my tire pressure to 38psi on all four tires and now the car gets...

    I have looked everywhere for this topic, cleaning our Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor but I am not finding anything (this is the sensor on top of the inlet). I took it off today and saw it was rather oily and dirty. Any thoughts if I need to clean it and what product do you use? I have...
  19. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I checked my tire pressure this morning and found my new tires had lost 5 psi (35 to 30). I check them monthly when cold. Last month @ 55 deg F, they were at 35. Today at 29 deg, they were at 30 psi. The tire shop makes a big deal about nitrogen filled tires being less susceptible to temp...
