where do I start if 2006 Kia Optima is giving code P0016

Question

where do I start first on error code P0016 on my 2006 Kia Optima

Answer 1

HI there,

This code is for the variable intake timing solenoid. The place to start is by checking the engine oil, if it's low it can cause this code. If the fuel pressure is good, then the issue could be the solenoid itself or the cam position sensor. All should be tested.
