So I have a 2012 Lx 2.4 (225k mi), relatively recently the car has been acting really weird. I’ll be driving normally then all of a sudden lose power before it comes back a second later. The car also has a little rough idle, it’s stalled on me when I’ve been in drive or reverse at very low...

So my wife's 2013 Optima SXL has had an issue over the past month where if she has to brake suddenly the RPM gauge drops to 0. It will stay at 0 until the car is stopped, shut off and then turned back on. Also when this happens the car will stutter/loss of power for a few seconds on...

Im woundering if anyone has had a simular issue that reminds me of a Toyota problem a while back. The past 2 days my '13 Optima 2.4 has had an issue with the RPM staying high coming to a stop, which makes it hard for braking. I have had to take it out of gear to stop properly and the engine RPM...

Hello, 2013 EX Turbo, 138k on it. Supreme gas and synthetic oil. I have had a few issues over the past few weeks with my 2013 EX Turbo. This has happened 4 times thus far. After the first time we took it to the dealer here in Fredericton,NB, Canada and after 200 bucks he could not find...

Hello everyone, first post here and really eager to get some help. I have been having an issue with my 2013 Optima LX for the past 2 weeks. Whenever I am driving with the AC on and accelerate in drive or reverse, I hear a humming noise coming from the engine bay. The noise is only apparent when...

I was wondering what everyone is idling at with a/c on and off. My 2011 lx sits at 600 rpm no matter if a/c is on or off. A problem I have is in the Phoenix summers at idle the a/c go's warm. And if this is inteed low how can I raise it? Thanks.

I've started to hear a high-pitched whistle at between 2k-3k RPMs or so on my 2012 Optima Hybrid. Been trying to troubleshoot before I head to the dealer. 1) Tone is generally the same pitch, does tail off a bit when it decides to go away 2) Unaffected by AC being on/off 3) Seems to occur...

Here's an interesting observation. My 2015 KOH does not have an RPM gauge. I don't believe it's a CVT. Makes if difficult to drive it in manual mode without one. Anyone familiar with this? Wondering if it's a setting or whats the best way to determine what RPM/gear I'm in. thanks

I saw this video https://youtu.be/8rC03RmP-qs Followed it but my idle is at 1000 in park only. In drive or reverse it drops. My father told me it could be vacuum leak... Check engine sign is on... I heard I should disconnect my battery. Anyone run into this? I installed the add w1 catch can.

So I wanted to post this as info for anyone else that may have issues like this. This would be only for the turbo peeps. The problem: When accelerating (mostly hard accel) the car will lurch and sputter with no power intermittently above 4000rpm. Even for how violent this surging was for me...

I was driving the other day and threw my car (2013 EX non-turbo) into manual mode to drive through town. A thought then popped into my head and I'm curious if it would even be doable. If you're driving in auto mode, the car shifts gears at a certain point. If you put the car in manual mode, you...

Question for fellow 2.0 owners? Twice in the two weeks I've had my car, the cold high idle hit 2000 rpm. All other times it hits approximately 1200 rpm like every other car I've owned. Stopped by the dealership and the tech said its normal for the turbos to do this. Also said it will probably go...

Anyone know what could cause this? 2013 sx, less than 5k miles. At 5200 rpm it sounds like a brief metal vibration under WOT. almost like a heat shield. No CEL, runs fine, just very loud and brief. Can't really get audio :(

Optima ecu mapping, rpm limit (?), 3 inch cat, 3" cat bak.. Auto Transmission is stock, whp 310, torque 41 (about)..

Hey guys, So today I feel like my car's idle rpm is a little lower than usual, when I first got my car, it idles around 900 rpm (when engine is warm). And today, when I sit in a red light, I noticed that my rpm is 'little' lower than 900 rpm. Please check it for me, and someone explain to me...

I've noticed recently that when I shift from from park to drive, neutral to park or from any gear to any gear my rpms are dropping and then going back to normal range. Is this normal? Anyone else experiencing this problem? and does anyone know what this is called. I tried searching online but...

Hey guys, I have 2000 miles on my SX now, and no problem at all, until today, I park my car in a indoor garage. My front windows were down, so whenever I hit around 1900-2000 rpm, I can clearly hear a rattle sound (it sounds like a metal in the exhaust). And then I parked my car, I tried to...
