couple problems
so my car for some reason all the sudden the FOBs stopped working. then yesterday on my way to work i get a slight surge but nothing major and my check engine light comes on. ran the code and it comes back high intake temps so we cleared the code and everything was fine. then i go to drive it again and it says active handling warming up. it did this twice but only once said warm up complete. now it doesnt do tat anymore and my check engine light is back on. any ideas?

Fair enough, Sounds like its hit or miss these days with the Optimas.
They seemed more reliable/consistent a few years back, I was ready to buy one until i read on here about them and heard about the Exide, which is what I bought.

Check the battery cables for good/clean connections to the battery. If you put a little clockwise pressure on the battery cable near the post and it rotates at all, there is likely some corrosion in the connector and you need to clean the connector ends thoroughly. A slight problem on the ground could cause some of these problems.
However one other thing I would recommend if checking your IAT connector. The IAT code and the AH Warming message are related. The AH system uses the IAT temp sensor for it's logic, and if it reads a real low temperature it will affect the AH initialization and throw a AH Warming message. The IAT connector commonly has a problem which will result in erroneous readings and it will throw a code/illuminate the MIL.
