Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. It is an automatic? Do you drive STRICTLY with one foot? Left foot firmly rested on the floor. I saw a lady once that drove with right foot on the accelerator and left foot on the brake. It sounds like your brakes are lightly on all the time. If the vehicle is in Neutral, can you push it to move it? If not the brakes are binding and you need to find out why? Make sure the two Factory Recalls have been done? https://www.autobytel.com/kia/sedona/2006/car-recalls/ It appears to be a known issue. https://www.google.com/search?q=2006%2F07+kia+sedona+2.9+crdi+brakes+overheating ..

Question edited for clarity and toss in some CAPS. Question moved to model category. The most likely reason for this is not the actuator, but broken wires in the harness where all the door wires go from the door edge to the door jamb. The constant opening and closing of the driver door causes them to 'work harden' and snap. It is an easy fix for an auto electrician. They expose the wires and probe them for continuity. https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me ..

help here. You can usually close them manually with a screwdriver via a secret cover. https://www.google.com/search?q=Kia+Rio+EX+2013+stays+open%2C+the+roof+cannot+be+closed ..

Is it a fuse box diagram you are after or a wiring diagram? Try this website for the fuse box layout. The optima model changed in 2016 so the earlier version can be selected at the top of the web page. https://fuse-box.info/kia/kia-optima-jf-2016-2018-fuses-and-relay

buy the service manual we sell none.

As our Fixya Expert points out, all questions need full 'year make model' as the first 3 words in every question, then there are 10,000 categories to choose from listed by 'make year model' and all the variations. Then some type of background, like why are looking for an EGR that doesn't exist. I have said many times "to get good answers, you have to ask good questions". It is a shame that Anonymous is frustrated and giving up on vehicle questions as he is one of the two best Experts we have. His knowledge is amazing, I know who he is, his writing style is unmistakable. :>)

You would need to replace the radiator, fill with coolant, remove all the air locks, then connect a scan tool and clear all the error codes. If the battery was disconnected you would also have to reset the security and engine immobilizer.

what does it do now. it needs service. are you asking for guesses or how to do tests./ what is the question? pulling the battery on most cars does all the resets you need. but can cause lost radio codes and it dead. (lic. code) <retrieve it first. when the car fails does it fail to crank or not. https://f005.backblazeb2.com/file/notstart-cranks-fast/cranks-but-not-start.mp3 here is the sound of good starter, cranks but will not start

I apologize, but I don't have access to specific torque specifications for every engine and vehicle. The torque specifications for the cylinder head bolts on a Kia 2.7L J2 engine may vary depending on the specific model and year of the vehicle. It is crucial to refer to the manufacturer's service manual or consult with a certified Kia mechanic to obtain the correct and up-to-date torque specifications for your particular engine. The service manual will provide the recommended torque values, as well as the specific sequence for tightening the cylinder head bolts. Following the manufacturer's specifications is important to ensure proper sealing and avoid any damage to the engine components.

The battery could be low ,issues with the wiring.Or sensors that are faulty.Or the key fob is broken.

Check the wiring and socket inside the headlamp. And ONLY USE 55W BULBS! The headlamp bulb sockets are junk on the 07 optima. My 07 tried to light itself on fire....multiple times. Finally ripped the inadequately designed plugs out and replaced them with ceramic sockets I ordered online, 2 sets for like $5 on Amazon. Haven't had an issue since I don't know what plastic Kia used, but it barely handles the heat from the 55 watt bulbs the manual calls for. There are higher wattage bulbs on the market. Do not use them. They will melt the plug plastic.
