Make sure the battery terminals are cleaned and they are tightened. You may have a loose wire or connection to the battery. Your alternator may be draining your battery. Make sure the battery is good and it holds a good charge. You can test the alternator by starting the vehicle and taking the hot side post off the battery. If it dies instantly, your alternator is bad. The alternator should run at 12V. If it doesn't die, you probably have a loose wire or a bad wire that is effecting the battery charging system. If you have a question, let me know. I am here to help. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

2004 kia optima stalled while driving down the road after 15min or so it willstart backup
if check engine light comes on, get it scanned. you can get it scanned at auto-zone for free. as long as the check engine light is on. but it sounds like a bad crank sensor! that is the way the sensor is. it will die out and about 15 or 20 minutes it will restart. get it scanned. good-day! it controls the timing of engine.

-Sound like every low oil.
-Did you check oil level..? Is it at the area indicated that " Full" ?

Good luck

The Warning Light Comes on "Stop Engine Low Oil Pressure" what does this mean
car needs oil pressure or bearings will wear out in short time. Do not drive or start engine with this light on. Might only be pressure sending unit. Can replace sending unit and start briefly to see if problem resolves. If light still stays on, shut off engine and have oil pump replaced.
