What should be my idle RPM's for a Kia Sportage HEV SX 2023?

Yes it is high if it still does that when it is warm. Cold idle speed is higher. Perhaps they will slow it down at first service.

Typically, the idle speed will be set at a value in the range of 600 to 800 RPM, but the exact value will depend on the number of engine cylinders and whether the vehicle is equipped with a manual or automatic transmission.

Kia Sportage Engine idle speed is high Inspection Costs

2001 kia sportage will brake lit switch cau the truck stall whil driving

Yes, If your idle RPM is too low it can kill the engine due to the high current of the brake lights will cause a stall.

Most cars use an RPM idle of 750 to 775 RPM. Check your manual then increase your idle a little.
Hope this helps.

My air conditioner on my 1999 kia sportage smell like smoking and like burning went turn on

do you turn on fan when using a/c ! if so heres a few causes-- burning smell in car, blower motor is going bad, or resistor is burning up.the resistor controls the fan speeds. good-day !


The burning smell could be due to gas leakage in the engine compartment. The gas smell is being sucked into the fresh air intake of the air conditioner. It can be avoided by checking either fuel pressure regulator or fuel injector.

2000 kia sportage trouble code po171 once in awhile,runs lean when cold,ok warm. i have 2 of these cars, changed over , map, tps ,idle sensors. also changed fuel injectors, filters ,fuel pump,fuel pressure...

I have 2005 Kia Sportage with a check engine light. No other symptoms. I was told by Kia and Local mechanic that it is the fuel injectors. Error Code states that Fuel injectors are running lean. Put Master airflow- no change. Ran engine test with propane to run rich and trim never changed from 15. Car runs great. Kia dealer said that this is because we use Ethel in gas that it effects the alumium fuel rail delivery to the injectors and that it is necessary to change all of them .Kia Dealer wants $1,000.00 deposit to place order 6 fuel injectors from Kia. (Has anyone heard of that?)Also put fuel injector cleaner in tank.Does anyone have any suggestions before I spend over $1,000.00 to replace all 6 injectors or possible idea of what could be wrong?

Ngine over fueling at all rpm, rough idle, heavy fuel consumption
