In the past two weeks my kia has randomly stalling at red lights. It doesn't stall at every red light and in the morning it doesn't stall at all. It is after the car has warmed up it stalls. When it stalls sometimes the oil light indicator comes on We had three oil changes March, Sept and Nov 2014. When the oil was changed all three times the oil was clear, no sludge or dirt particles were in the oil. What can be the cause of this problem

I have a 2017 Kia forte. It started stalling while coasting to stop sign or into driveway. Any ideas? Also started making a rattling noise on deceleration. Thanks.

The guide in the above post should help you because it sound like the throttle plate is dirty. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can hear the noise? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

It was low on oil. Stopped stalling and making rattling sound on acceleration. Low oil light never came on. Why would it be low in first place? Strange.
