REALLY rough idle

mark458 · 05-13-2008, 10:16 AM

Ok Ive had to replace alot of things on this car... Now that I seem to have everything worked out its sill idling REALLY rough and popping out the intake. it was idling really high but I found that the iac and maf connectors were on backwords... ANYWAY I have new plugs, wires, coils, iac, maf and a fuel filter... Im lost as to what else it could be.

I would double check the valve timing - maybe the timing belt has jumped a tooth or two.

What plugs and plug gap are you using?
Make sure the gap is 0.03" (0.75mm).

I have no way of checking the timing. The car drives just fine. As long as your moving theres no problem but sitting at idle it sounds horid.

The valve timing can be checked by removing the top cambelt cover, but it sounds like this may not be your problem if you say it runs well, but just not idle.

Could be a vacuum leak on the inlet manifold, or the EGR valve leaking, if as you say the IAC/ISC is new.

Found number 1 and 3 to have bad o-rings went to every parts store in the area only to find the kia has made it to where you have to buy the o-rings from them only! A 25 cent o-ring is $4.50!!! Kia is a bunch of con-artists!

What plugs are you using and what gap?

Best use the original NGK's and make sure they are gapped at 0.03" (0.75mm)

Betcha it's the plugs and plug gap. Gap at .028 to .032.
