I have a 2007 kia sedona. the check engine light came on, the a/c starts to blow warm when stopping or at idle and it starts to run hot. when vehicle is moving it runs fine. I took it to autozone to check the engine light and it said that there is something wrong with the cooling fan circuit. Before I went to autozone I changed the thermostat and it ran good for about three days. Then it started doing it again.

Hello Zepol2345,

Sounds like your trouble shooting (logic) is SPOT-ON
and your description of your trouble... is also quite
excellent, informative & helpful...

Problem is.. I looked at the FACTORY DRAWINGS they
are quite disappointing... (useless)...

I have been (professionally) analyzing drawings for a life time.

Their normal intent is to inform and assist in
trouble location: Yours shows a relay.. another box with
another relay Some disjointed gibberish that looks
like diodes in a "MICOM" box that only show a "TEMP"
box inside of that.

I am able to conclude from this "STUFF"...
We (you) are on our own

This is were the UNINFORMED use element prices to
do an "Easter egg hunt"
(technical term: process of elimination).

From what you have said... you should mark your last removed part as a "GOOD SPARE" and move on...

My experience has been: If NOT the thermal switch...
then FAN MOTOR (they seem interchangeable (left / right)...
Your engine might run cooler... but the A/C could overheat
(over-heated A/C can cause HIGH PRESSURE and
RESULTING BLOWN seal problems...
Not a good idea... (and no gauges or lights to WARN)

>> (so I DO NOT recommend this approach)

move on to the relays
(Sorted by cost... less than the motors... (good spare))...

SOURCE: 2004 Kia Sedona trying to find the starter.

it is located on the drivers side underneath the van. you have to remove it from the underside of the car. you will need a 17 millimeter socket or wrench. Remove the ground cable before attempting to remove the starter.

U may find that the negative battery cable has worn and it needs replacing. Check from battery down to the car cassie. That happened to me on my Nissan.

SOURCE: fail to start from cold

check the two glow plug relays in the small fuse box behind the big one.(i know it has no glowplugs but the relays controll the heater) they should be 12 v. or connect a jump lead from the positive terminal on the batt to the foremost connection on the heater. leave for 10-15 secs then start. if it starts the relays are shot. 20£ each from a kia dealer

My 2002 kia sedona won't idle until warms up, dies when put into gear ...any ideas??

Is the check engine light on? you could have a bad ignition fail sensor, TPS sensor, or bad o2 sensor. it could also be a bad mass air flow sensor or a vacuum leak. without a code to help pin point the problem I'd start by checking those things first. Maybe try unplugging the mass airflow sensor and start it up and see if anything changes.

My 2012 Kia Sedona has a rough idol and wants to stop running at stop signs. The check engine light come on. It is about -30 degrees outside could that be the issue.

emissions tend to freeze up in cold weather.. some folks block the extremely cold air up front with a disposable cardboard sheet.. this allows the motor to run warmer..you may need to do this..some cars have a space betweenthe radiator and the ac condenser to slide a sheet in there..otherwise it goes in front of the grille..

2007 kia sedona vacuum leak

Before I bought the Mass Airflow Sensor, I looked up the codes again for the 2007 3.8L Kia Sedona. One listing was "massive vacuum leak". I took all the hoses and debris collectors off of the engine, and upon close inspection; the large air hose that connects the air filter to the intake manifold was dry rotted at ALL the ridges. I flexed the hose a few times and saw where the vacuum leaks were occurring. I also removed the EGR hose for inspection and found the hose was faulty as well. Since these parts are "dealer only", I used duct tape to seal the leaks as a temp fix, filled the gas tank and used fuel injector cleaner. Disconnected the neg. battery terminal, reset the codes, and the check engine light turned off. Runs like a champ now. Vehicle has 119,000 miles so I guess wear and tear like this is to be expected. New hoses from online parts dealer totaled 130.00. I got off easy I think.

I tried jump starting a 2004 Kia Sedona. The lights flash & horn blows, but it will not start. I disconnected the battery overnight to reset the computer, but same problem.

Lights, horn, and other accessories use a lot less power than the vehicle's starter. With many vehicles you need to wait 10 to 20 minutes with the jumpers connected and the source vehicle running before you try to start.

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.
