How fast it takes to overheat? If it will overheat just sitting there or has to be driven? Is the check engine light on? How many miles are on the car? Is it losing coolant? A easy DIY repair would be to change out the thermostat. You could check it 1st. Put it in pot of water on the stove and see if it opens at the point the water starts to boil. It should actually open just before the water boils but definitely be open once it does boil...... You may also want to get the codes pulled, it may give you some insight on the idle problem.... pepsi Novice Sep 11, 2010, 12:26 PM Post #3 of 6 (3929 views) Re: 2003 Kia Sedona is overheating and Idling high when you start it Sign In It doesn't over heat real fast but doesn't take long to warm up.The check enigine light is not on.There is no leaks that I can see.It has not got to the red on the temp control it goes to about the 3/4th mark.when I run the heater that brings the temp down.

It gets very confusing for everyone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. pepsi Novice Sep 11, 2010, 1:43 PM Post #5 of 6 (3918 views) Re: 2003 Kia Sedona is overheating and Idling high when you start it Sign In Sorry I didn't know how to add to my fist question till I already put that one on Sidom Veteran / Moderator Sep 11, 2010, 7:13 PM Post #6 of 6 (3908 views) Re: 2003 Kia Sedona is overheating and Idling high when you start it Sign In It's possible the radiator is getting restricted this would account for it running warmer but not the high idle. It's also possible you have a head gasket problem....... You didn't answer my question on if there is any coolant loss. Coolant loss & a leak is actually 2 different things... Just due to the few different problems going on, it might be a good idea to take this in and have it check by a shop....   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
