Re: 05 optima Sign In
Which engine?

Why did you replace those items? Did you do any testing and found they were faulty?

Any trouble codes stored in the engine computer? If so, what are the numbers?

That would be a good start. If there are code(s) stored that might give you some direction if the code(s) are related to your symptoms.

Just giving you heads up, but intermittent drive-ability systems can be extremely difficult to figure out without test equipment and vehicle service information.

Re: 05 optima Sign In
Also when its acting up It acts like its getting smothered out when I push accelerator and cuts off. It starts right back up and cuts off after a couple seconds. Any ideas???

You should see if there are any codes first.
