2012 Optima Turbo Dies When Floored

Topic starter

Car dies within seconds of flooring gas pedal. 2012 Kia Optima Turbo. It starts again after waiting almost exactly one hour. It happened at least four times on highway. Now I never floor it, so no problem. Car drives perfectly otherwise. I can merge on to freeways at 80 mph without problem. Drives all day on freeway or in town. 110,000 miles. Tried switching to premium at a mechanic's suggestion. Thought fixed it, but then it happened again. Any and all thoughts appreciated.

There are many things which could cause that. It could be a turbo problem. It could be a fuel pump problem. It can be a computer problem. You're going to need an excellent mechanic to analyze it with the fancy fan tool and drive it till it dies. Then that data analyzed to find a cause
