How do I troubleshoot an engine issue in my Kia ProCeed?

I recently purchased a Kia ProCeed and I've been experiencing some engine issues. The check engine light keeps coming on and the car is not running as smooth as it should. What steps should I take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue?

First, check your engine oil level and make sure it's at the recommended level. Low oil can cause engine issues. If the oil level is fine, then it could be a problem with the spark plugs or the ignition system. It's best to take it to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

If you're experiencing a decrease in power or acceleration, it could be a problem with the fuel injectors. Try using a fuel system cleaner to see if that improves the performance. If not, take it to a mechanic to have the injectors checked and possibly replaced.

Another common issue with Kia ProCeed engines is a faulty mass airflow sensor, which can cause issues with fuel efficiency and engine performance. If you notice a decrease in gas mileage or rough idling, have the mass airflow sensor checked and replaced if necessary.
