Car not performing

[Nicholas Duffy]

Hi can some advise me as to what's wrong with my kia stinger 3.3gts when I press my accelerator to the floor the engine management lite comes on the car starts to shake as if the drive shaft is skipping the car has only done 9000km

That could be a "mixture/feed" issue, triggering the warning light. It could also be a sensor failure. It could also be a piece of hardware failing. I'm not a "car guy", so I can't be more technical: but I've read of a few incidents over the last year-plus that sound similar to yours. One was a fuel filter replacement; one involved a "reflash" of the ECU (iirc); one was what I tried to describe: and involved changing the spark plugs and something else. Each incident was resolved expeditiously.

Dealer will plug in the diagnostic tool and should be able to find out the problem for you.
