The car is for sale as is. For either simple repair and drive, or for parts. Either way complete. Nothing missing. Almost everything under the hood has been changed.

Just so for the ones whom may ask after reading the ad, YES. I am An Automotive Tech, with extensive knowledge and experience of 15 plus yrs in both the Import and Domestic automotive field. Have built many show / race (track and street) / as well as many of team cars in fast & furious (first title).

With that all said, you can understand why i went to the limits of basically rebuilding the whole powertrain and everything attached to it. THIS MEANS THE CAR IS SET FOR ANOTHER 13-14 YRS USAGE READY

-Whats all been done: Replaced engine at 118,000 due to spinning a rod bearing, and journals damaged... Replaced with 82k mile Engine.. After engine swap,.. every so often,. ECU will throw a MIL and code out,,. and started off a Domino ripple on PARTS REPLACEMENT.... Replaced -- - Both ignition Coils - Wires,. Sparks Plugs. - Crank and Cam Shaft Position Sensors - Fuel Pump and Relay (Relay was overheating/worn out) - IAC - TP - MAP - O2 Sensors - Changed All,. Tested.. both Resistance values for iac, map, tp,. and dwell on O2's to be sure. - MAF Sensor changed few yrs before replacing Engine. - Changed majority of the Relays (Just for good measure) - Fuses all good - - ECU/ECM, as I noticed the Unit Was heating up and shutting off the engine after 15-20 minutes,.. O.E. Ecu had a Ckp circuit malfunction, from bad grounding point (choice) during a Jump Start,..

I just gave up on wanting to fix it after the extensive parts replacement period of the last yr all to find out the culpuret is a nagging short in the main harness from engine bay to ecu/ecm, that has been causing the engine control module to heat up and go into a safety shut down mode. The optima will start up and drive and run fine for 20-25 minutes till the short causes enough intermittent signal loss and voltage fluctuations to the ecu and shut down. At which point have to reset the ecu via a obdii scanner and then drain the mem by disconnecting battery Over night. Ive replaced the ecu thinking of damage, but sure enough is fine, a $400 dollar extra double check expense.

Myself and a fellow autotech (well over 35+ yrs in the field) tackled from all angles and finally put the last bit of testing, directly checking each harness end for continuity, came to notice voltage spikes and intermittent loss of signal. Which is a short as it was same repeat in a coordinating parallel wire in the harness......

AT THIS POINT, ITS A SIMPLE STRAIGHT FORWARD FIX, FOR ANYONE WITH ELECTRICAL WIRING KNOWLEDGE. JUST TRACE THE ELECTRICAL LINES AND REPLACE THE SHORTING WIRES. WILL END OFF IN HAVING A PRACTICALLY FULLY REBUILT POWERTRAIN-AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. (You can also take it to a shop, or have a mechanic do for yeah.. )

Feel free to inquire with any questions. LOCAL PICKUP ONLY. If interested in purchasing the Engine and Transmission assembly, you can take the whole car along with.

8 fastest depreciating cars in America

Tue, Feb 27 2018

Getting a new car is an amazing experience. The fresh new scent, the barely touched interior, the double digit miles on your odometer, and... the depreciation once it leaves the car dealers lot? Maybe not that last one. To save you from the hurt of a quickly depreciating new car, we collected 8 of the fastest depreciating cars in America. And here's a surprise, one of them is a Toyota.

Hyundai, Kia, Genesis will get chip maker NVIDIA's infotainment in deal

Tue, Nov 10 2020

Chip maker NVIDIA Corp on Monday announced that Hyundai Motor Group will use the NVIDIA DRIVE in-vehicle information and entertainment system for all its Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis models from 2022. NVIDIA said the luxury vehicle division of Hyundai, Genesis, already uses NVIDIA DRIVE for its GV80 and G80 models. (You can read a bit about the Genesis infotainment systems in Autoblog's recent driving reviews of the G80 sedan and the GV80 SUV, and our buying guide for the latter.) NVIDIA declined to say how many vehicles NVIDIA DRIVE would be installed in, but said it is a large number and pointed to the fact that in 2019 Hyundai Motor Group shipped over 7 million vehicles. Hyundai Motor Co is the flagship company of Hyundai Motor Group, and Kia Motors Corp is its sister company. NVIDIA DRIVE includes hardware and software components and uses artificial intelligence to improve the user's experience. The software can be "perpetually" updated, giving vehicles the latest AI cockpit features, said NVIDIA. NVIDIA said it has also been working with Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Honda on in-car entertainment and information systems. Related Video:

Kia unveils Horki sub-brand in China, kicks off with concept car

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

While we were busy ogling new vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept, Maserati Ghibli and Hongqi L9 at the Shanghai Motor Show, Kia was busy unveiling an entire brand. Through its Chinese joint venture, Dongfeng Yueda Kia (or DYK), the South Korean automaker has introduced its new Horki sub-brand and a concept car, simply called the Horki Concept.
The name Horki comes from the combination of two Chinese characters "Hor" and "Ki," which translates to "China driving." As this suggests, the brand will only be offered in China, and this concept sedan shares its platform with the 2014 Kia Forte. We didn't happen to catch the car live at the auto show, and apparently neither did Kia, since it only provided us with some drawings rather than live (or even studio) shots of the actual concept car. Thankfully, our friends at Newspress managed to ferret it out, so we have a couple of live pics to share after all.
