    06 KIA Spectra
    We just bought a KIA. 23K miles check engine light just came on car running very good, temp of vehicle in the middle or lower, running smooth.

    Any ideas? I've checked all fluids.

    Thanks

    Check for any codes, by taking the car to AutoZone. They will not charge for this service.

    Make sure the gas cap is tightened securely--this can cause a code to be thrown. If this is the cause of the code being thrown, it will go out by itself after the cap is tightened. If may take a day of starting and driving around but it will go out. Otherwise, AutoZone should be able to reset the computer for you. You can also try disconnecting the negative battery cable for 15 seconds.
