Lately, at the a.m. start-up, the "check engine" light appears and I can't get any RPMs higher than 1,800 out of her. (38,000 miles, 37,000 of which came in the form of leased car prior to my purchase) I'll drive it for 5 minutes, shut her down for 10, go back -- and the engine becomes fully responsive again, but the "check engine" light stays on. The Optima will run fine the rest of the day ("check" light usually goes off during lunchtime errands), but then repeats this cycle 2 days later. Fuel / fuel delivery problem? Thanks, folks.

Replying to: mickeyrom (Apr 29, 2008 4:49 am) "What's the problem?" "My guy says it's a brake (break?) switch." "Cool. What's that?" "I don't know." I'm trying to be optimistic. Thanks for the input, mickeyrom.

| I just tried to replace the battery in my daughters 2002 optima. I got the new battery in but the horn is blowing an the wipers going I tried using the key fob but it didn't help. an it won't start either. Anybody know how to fix this? | |
| Back again! Upon startup, RPMs won't go over 1,700, and at that it's a very rough idle. Run it for 2 minutes, turn it off, start it again and sometimes it's fine, but sometimes it takes 2-3 off/on cycles to get it to proper RPMs. (This had happened twice before and the dealer "fixed" it both times, last time about a month ago. Now it's back.) Anyone have an idea? | |
