The initial problem was loss of power after car was good and warm usually after about 15 mins of highway driving. It felt like the engine would drop to 3 cylinders. idle was real low, often might stall when coming to a stop. Was never diagnosed by KIA techs. They did a tune up, replaeced plugs and wires but no help. Thru my own research, I discovered it was the mass air flow sensor. A new one was over $400, so I found one at upullourparts for $60.00 Ran fine for a while then would happen again. I bought some mass air flow cleaner and every other week I have to remove it clean and replace it, over and over again.
