2016 Kia Optima keeps getting the code P0011 check engine light.

Asked by Irka Jul 25, 2021 at 06:57 PM about the 2016 Kia Optima LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

2016 Kia Optima keeps getting the code P0011
check engine light. The Kia Store keeps "fixing
it" and it keeps coming back. Having trouble
speeding up when I hit the gas pedal. What are
they missing? How can it be fixed? I've literally
only had this car since June 9th and this is the
6th time it's come on. I only drive it to and from
work about 12 miles one way.

Sounds like a worn timing chain or timing belt. If the engine is running hot and/or boiling over when you shut it off I'd definitely suspect the timing chain or timing belt. Hope that helps! Jim
