You should have the code read to see what it is. This can be done for free at your local auto zone, advanced auto, or o`rielys. Some cars are so sensitive that not getting the gas cap tight will send a code but you wont know because it takes like 70 starting cycles to clear on its own. Have it checked as soon as possible to be sure.

I have a 2005 kia spectra and it runs rough when you start it. Then when driving it the check engine light flashes but does not stay on. It used to run great till it got warmed up then it would stall

Go to www.kiatechinfo.com, make an account for free and you can access all the information the factory techs use.

But you should have the obd codes scanned to see what the issue is and you should know that when the light flashes you should not drive it because it can damage the engine.

I have a 2005 Kia Spectra. The check engine light has been on and i got it checked. What does engine code Po0011 mean?

Hi Po0011 is not a valid code but if you meant P0011 then it refers to an over advanced cam timing fault.

Replaced catalytic and o2 sensor check engine light won't reset 2005 kia spectra lx

It won't automatically reset. Most parts stores will check / reset the code for free, and if it doesn't reset, they can tell you what kind of code is causing the problem.
