Question

I have a 2012 Kia Optima GDI 4 Cyl with engine code P0087, what is the meaning of the code? Fuel rail system pressure is too low?

Answer 1

Hi there,

This code usually indicates an issue with the fuel pressure itself. It is possible that the problem is the sensor, but usually what it means is there isn't enough fuel pressure at the fuel rail. Typically replacing the fuel pump is required.
