If it is around 1200rpm for a few minutes this will be normal as the ECM has set the RPM to compensate for the cold air intake (much like an automatic choke). After a few minutes it should drop back to around 1000rpm and then when the motor has been running a bit drop back to around 850-900rpm. If it not following the pattern then run the fault codes and fix the sensor that is reading incorrectly.

SOURCE: how do you change the right front headlight bulb on a kia sedona

Remove the headlight assembly. Just remove the 3 bolts with a 10 mm socket and pull it out so you can disconect the wire harness. After that pull the whole assembly out and unscrew the bulb cover. The bulb is held in with a spring clip.

2003 Kia Sedona what is the RPM supposed to idle aton cold start an in warm weather

Idle speed depends on a number of factors; for instance it may idle faster when the air conditioner is on. Instead of a fixed idle speed, as in the old cars, the engine computer sets the speed to whatever is needed to run any accessories and maintain smooth operation, but generally not more than that. That's under normal circumstances. There are several failure modes that cause erratic idle speed; usually the engine will also run roughly.

2003 kia floods..no start hot

How do you know it floods? Fuel injected vehicles should not over fuel the engine unless an injector/fuel pressure regulator is leaking internally or the computer commands a high injector pulse rate based on sensor information. Does it have spark and fuel pressure when the no start condition presents itself?

2003 kia Sedona at a cold start the rpm runs very high and it will take over 2 minutes before its slowly starts to drop.

TPS, IAC, EGR, MAF, MAP. all sensors all having to do with the way the car starts and runs. Does it idle fine after warm up or does the idle jump up and down, or does it go so low sometimes, you think it's going to die on you? I'd look at the TPS and IAC 1st. Go to autozone or advanced auto parts and have then plug the OBD II code reader into your ECU and see if they can pull a code.

I have a 2003 Kia Sedona, recently put in a new radiator. The dash gauge goes from normal to high,and back.I check the engine looks ok.What is the problem? Ted

Do the following exactly as stated, i think u have air in the system.

The generic method of bleeding air from the cooling system is to use a floor jack and raise the front of the car as high as poss, then fill the coolant recovery tank full and run the engine until it just starts to overheat, high end of normal zone on gauge, then shut the engine down and run cold water over the radiator core, this will self bleed the system and the coolant will be pulled from the recovery tank, repeat as necessary, never let the recovery tank run dry or more air will be pulled into the cooling systeml , if it still overheats then you need to have the head gaskets checked with a gas analyzer for hydrocarbons present in the radiator or recovery tank

Kia Sedona 2003 shaking motor

Have a cylinder leakdown test done...likely they missed another bent valve. I'm betting it's an exahust, because it would be less drivable if it was an intake, but regardless, I'll bet that is your problem.

2003 Kia Sedona charging system

This is typical. When cold starting/running, it takes more amps to run. It is using amps for higher idle to warm up engine, Altenator is spinning faster, and all sensors are being used at same time.
This is why mechanics say wait til normal operating temperature before any testing is done.
Once the engine hits normal temp, the computer readjust voltage amps, fuel pressure, air intake, timing and more.
