I have a 2016 1.6 kia soul . I gad a P050A code . New air sensor . Pcv valve and cleaned the throttle body. No fix . 35,000 miles. Last thing I did was the Sparkplugs. That fixed the cold start issue. Runs like new again . Oh 2 oil changes in 4 weeks to nake sure all is good . 😊 Engine light is off now .
Ok this in my other comments fix some. It had a rough idle. Still getting that 30 mpg . So I reset the computer by disconnecting the battery . Turning the key on for 15 minutes to discharge the computer . Reconnect ,turn key on for 15 seconds. Turn it off then Restarted the car. It reset and back in working order again.
Random side note...on the 2.0 Kia soul engine ...from line to line on the dipstick is 2oz so if you count 8 lines from where you see oil on tbe dipstick to tbe fill line you need to add 16oz of oil 🙃
@@MentorMel now I'm stuck at home this week, apparently the oil drained out while I was parked at an event even after I topped the oil the day before. Made it to two blocks from home when it stalled out. It's probably done.

Awesome! That's the cars equivalent of unplugging a computer and plugging it back in lol. Thank you for sharing your experience!
I subscribed. Forgot to do that .😊 Next is the Seafoam treatment to clean out the valves.
Did you do a full blown intake clean or just pour it into the gas tank ??

That's good to know! Thanks for sharing!
I just bought a 2020 with nearly 80K miles and it takes about a quart a week. Ugh.
Yikes! Try an engine flush and see if that helps. Wishing you the best!
Would you recommend Seafoam?@@MentorMel

It sounds like it. Once the engine seizes, it's pretty much done.
Install a catch-can !!! This is for any GDI engine, not just Kia
I need to do more research on it but it's on my list for sure!
