Hi dears I have a new KIA Carens 1.5T 2023 the car stop running while driving at low speed 3 times withen 3 weeks !
When exactly does it do this? Is it when you've stopped at a red light or a junction? Most modern cars are fitted with a 'Stop-Start' system that shuts the engine off when stopped at idle speed to save fuel and create less pollution.
If your familiar with this system and there are no warning lights on the dashboard take the vehicle back to the dealer and get them to look at it. If this is a 2023 vehicle it should still be covered by some form of warranty, either a dealership based warranty or the manufacturer's warranty.

How do i change the throttle positioning sensor on my 2002 Kia Optima?
Changing the throttle position sensor (TPS) on your 2002 Kia Optima is a fairly straightforward task, but it's crucial to approach the process with care. Below are general steps to replace the TPS on most vehicles. However, always refer to the specific service manual for your car to ensure you're following the correct procedures.
Tools and Materials Needed:
- Screwdriver or socket set (depending on the type of fasteners used)
- A new throttle position sensor (ensure it's the right part for your vehicle)
- A digital multimeter (optional, for testing the old sensor)
Steps to Change the Throttle Position Sensor:
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. This ensures you won't accidentally cause any electrical shorts or get shocked while working on the vehicle.
- Locate the TPS: Find the throttle body on your engine - it's usually located between the air filter box and the intake manifold. The TPS is a small sensor, often positioned on the side of the throttle body and connected to the throttle plate shaft.
- Inspect Electrical Connections: Before removing the TPS, check the wiring and connections for any signs of damage, corrosion, or wear. If you find damaged wires, they'll need to be addressed as well.
- Remove the TPS: Using the appropriate tool (screwdriver or socket), carefully remove the screws or bolts holding the TPS in place. Some vehicles might have a clip that secures the sensor. If so, carefully detach it.
- Install the New TPS: Position the new TPS in place, ensuring that it aligns properly with the throttle plate shaft. Attach it using the screws or bolts you removed earlier. Be cautious not to overtighten as you could damage the new sensor.
- Reconnect Electrical Connections: Plug the wiring harness back into the new TPS. Ensure it's securely connected.
- Reconnect the Battery: Reconnect the negative terminal to the battery.
- Test the Installation: Start the car and let it run for a few minutes. Pay attention to any unusual behaviors, such as erratic idling or poor acceleration. If you have a digital multimeter and know how to use it, you can check the TPS's voltage to ensure it's working correctly.
- Clear any Engine Codes: If you had a check engine light due to the faulty TPS, you might need to clear it using an OBD-II scanner.
- Test Drive: Once you're sure everything is in order, take the car for a short test drive. Monitor for any issues with throttle response or engine behavior.
Remember, while these are general guidelines, there may be specific details or steps unique to your 2002 Kia Optima. Always consult the vehicle's service manual or consult with a professional mechanic if you're unsure about any part of the process.
