run the fault codes and find why the rpm limiter kicked in

take it to an accredited service shop for a compression test and coolant level check indicates that it is over heating

i presume you have checked for a spark at the plugs, if you have one then check you have the leads on in the right firing order

this is where it is on the 2.9 engine

there is a connection that can be connected to your radio input if you have one, if not you can use the same phono output from the dvd player (its marked) and get a unit that fits in between your antenna lead and the radio that allows you to tune to a frequency and hear your dvd sound through your radio speaker system. (available from ebay)

I don't think so but give an auto parts store or Kia to find out for sure.

1. Drain the coolant
The thermostat is located at the end of the top radiator hose. Remove the drain plug from the radiator and flush the coolant into a pan.
2. Remove the Upper radiator hose
Loosen the clamps that connect the upper radiator hose to the housing and remove the hose.
3. Remove the thermostat housing
Loosen the thermostat housing mounting bolts. Remove the housing and pull the thermostat from it.
4. Replace the thermostat
Inspect the new thermostat and install it with a new gasket. Mount the housing and upper radiator hose. Then pour new coolant into the radiator.

possible but as the cat converter is a mass honeycomb of openings around 1/2 mm one small spot of carbon would not cause the fault when a new engine is fitted, the oxygen sensor will take time to read the operation of the cat converter and if the cat is failing as they said then at some point the readings may be outside the set parameters for the sensor That in turn will cause the heated oxygen sensor to go out of parameters and possibly put the light on they are partially correct to say not to worry about the cat converter until it starts to break down then it will block the exhaust or you get an inspection and a test ordered At this point in time , drive it and put some saving aside for a new cat converter and have it changed when you can afford it

Find some one who know to fix. Good luck Mai
