Engine check light is on and I get this code with a code reader.
This code is generic and does not specify a specific failure. This code could represent low oil level, overdue oil change, restricted or damaged VVT solenoid. Emissions can be affected by a damaged PCV valve, ignition component or a vacuum leak. Would you tell me what you have checked or found so far? How is the engine running (smooth or rough)? Does the Engine Light only turn on solid or does it flash? Let me know how things are going or if there is anything else I can do. Good luck.

If you go to an advanced auto part store or another auto store they will sometimes scan your car for free. They should be able to tell you what is wrong with it.
Sounds like the same thing that happened to my car. Mine did the same thing and it turned out to be the MAF.
Just remember to unplug your battery when you fix your problem. Sometimes the codes wont erase without the dealer going in and entering the "cheater" code. You'll be stuck with seeing the thing and not knowing if its fixed or not.

Weell it sounds like you have the days old problem Pepole dont know how to look after there cars.
The muck you still have in the engine isent doing it any good and so you have to get rid of it all, as its in the engine block and is got to go ,,so drain a little of water out and put in 1/2 a cup of washing up liquid in the radiator and start the engine and let it get hot and take the reves up to 1000 rpm now and then to keep the water going around the system, after about 1/4 hr turn off,,stand for 10 minutes ,,and then remove the cap slowly and then take off the Bottom hose and let all water out also take off Top hose at the engine end and put the house water hose in the top and turn it on till all water comes out clean. Then put hose up into the bottom hose and do the same again ,and the same in top again.Now with a clean engine you can do the same to the new Radiator and wash out all gunk .then check the thermostat and make sure its 100% (any doubt through it out) and take note how it comes out so you can fit a new one the same way,
Now refit both hoses and fill with coolant or antifreeze and TURN on the heater to hot before starting as you also have to get out the air from heater when it was drained and you will trap the air which might cause you code problems..
But now try service light reset
1,,Turn Ignition to Number 1position.
2,,Press and hold "day counter"reset button and turn
ignition to II(second) position,hold down for about 12 seconds.
3,,Afterservice light flashes,release button,there should be 2 beeps confirming reset was successful.
Let me know how you get on .. Ron
I guess I will start by saying I would take it back to Kia and tell them it is not fixed. They are on the hook for the cost of repairs if they failed to diagnose the problem the first time. Once you have other people work on the car, the dealer is off the hook.
It could be dirt or something in the cylinder head blocking oil pressure to the control valve. The control valve uses oil pressure to adjust cam timing.
You may need to have the engine oil flushed, or have the oil pressure checked with a mechanical gauge.

The P0011 means "A" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance.
