i have a 2005 kia Amanti. i believe a cd is stuck and the cd palyer will not rptate or eject. does anybody have a solution?

Change the CKP sensor.

Replace the CKP (Crankshaft Position) Sensor. Your car cannot tell that you are trying to start it, because it does not see RPM's from CKP sensor. Common problem.

I've dealt with this vapor-lock issue in multiple ways. One was to put an aspirin in the thermostat to hold it open. When disolved it would work properly. But want it open for a bit so that coolant can flow. The other was to squeeze the radiator hoses to push coolant and work air into radiator so it could come to top of radiator. Another is to simply run it till warms up, shut it down and ad coolant to the reservoir.

The thermostat is shot, it is not opening up properly to let the engine maintain it's optimum operating temperature. If you go to a mechanic have him look at the thermostat.

the radio could be locked up you can pull the audio fuse in the dash out for a min or 2 then plug back in. that should fix it. if not you need a new radio. Kia doesn't make them anymore so you either need to find a junkyard one or go to the dealer to have them ship it out and get repaired.

This sounds like the antitheft transponder that sits around the ignition key that picks up you code from the key, when you put your key into the ignition does the light go off on the dash board if not the that what your trouble is the light should go out as soon as you put the key in and turn it, if this is the problem sometimes if your lucky take the steering shaft shroud off and move the little cables about that go into the ring that fits around the ignition switch and it may work if not a new transponder is required. I have known this little trick to work. Best of uck

cold will really diminish the battery output if the battery is'nt in good condition so i'd start there , new battery

Really need more information on symptoms, but most likely cause is a bad battery that either needs more charge or replacement.

Your battery is probably dead, cold weather kills auto batterys, also may not be enough Cold Cranking Amps for this type of weather ?

Do you hear clicking when you turn the key, or is it silent? Do you have dash lights that come on after turning the key on before going to the start position? Is your dome light coming on, and are your headlights bright? We really need more information to help. Check these things and post your answer, and i will try to help.

This is a video that will cover the removal for a 2004-2006 Amanti. I'm having the same problem with my '05. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc1L4bs-IOA

the connector has a metal "wire" lock it either needs pushed down or gently pop up to disconnect. Then use a 10mm socket to remove the 2 bolts.
