2000 Kia Sephia

My engine recently started being sluggish from a start. Feels like I am tapping the gas pedal. Also my transmission will not shift into overdrive. It does not matter if the button is pushed or not. Please help!!!!

more info... is the check engine light on?
the od problem id have checked maybe the tranny is going or could be a simple sensor. is the od light blinking?

I had the same problem ..almost like the tps is not working correctly but what do i know ...guess its a common problem from what I'm reading here i had my trani fluid changed and codes cleared ...dealer said it was because my cars computer had codes stored that needed to be cleared ...what ever what that had to do with trani ? beats me.. anyhow after the service... problem is gone ..(dealers was the cheapest plc to have it done ! ) exactly $52.52 Canadian
Mr lube wanted **** **** near 200.00 what a rip off ...dealer is cheaper for oil changes and fluid changes and at least they know your KIA .
well out where i live anyhow dealer= good

If it will not go into overdrive the problem is with the tranny...... I bet the od light is flashing also...

Poor throttle response "May" be in 3rd gear failsafe? like Fastkia mentioned, is the O/D light flashing? check for stored codes.
