Why is idle low at start up and almost shuts off at stops?

SOURCE: Kia spectra wont start

it is probably the starter assuming the engine isnt locked up. I would check to see if you have battery voltage at the starters solenoid wire with the key in the start position if you do i would check the fuses and starter relay

SOURCE: hard to start hot or cold runs good when it starts

I think it may be time to change the spark plugs and wires.

SOURCE: need to find a diagram of the 2001 Kia Spectra, manual missing

hi from uk the light/simbol you dscribe illuminated is the tyre pressures monitoring warning this is indicating that one or more of your tyres is under inflated in other words you need to check and inflate all tyres to correct pressure as indicated/recommended in handbook the light should reset after driving if not ceck h/book tyres info

Its very likely that its time for a tune up, also you should check the resistance of your ignition coils and if they are not within specs replace them. This same problem happen to my Sportage. Leave feedback. Rate this post.
