Hi, even after a complete tune up and changing the transmission fluid/filter I am getting a P0732 code on my 2002 kia rio. It runs and shifts fine, it just feels hesitant and I have to pump the gas pedal a...

Tune-up of the motor is only spark plugs & all
vehicles have been tuned by the computer for over
30 years, so forget that

Go to Google as well as You Tube Video for the answer
