    Rio troublesome to start when warm

    Kia Kia Advice Kia Rio Kia Rio Advice Kia Rio 2006

    My 2006 Kia Rio starts fine first thing in the morning, but I have real trouble restarting it when it's warmed-up. Why?

    It's clearly a happy camper when it's cold and it's getting the cold settings, it's clearly not when the cold settings are not in play. It could be a problem with the ECU, the crank angle sensor, the oxygen sensor, or the idle setting. You really need to go to a mechanic who can diagnose the problem for you.
