Hey everyone. I am dying because my ka24de is dying GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. It makes me angry. This is how it started one of these cold mornings I started the car what I noticed is that the car was REALLY REALLY hard to start. From there it had a really rough idle. At first I thought that it was maybe the wires or maybe the spark plugs. Me and my friend were like WTF. So we did a little test we took out the wires from the plugs we decided that it was either the 3rd or 4th cylinder. So after I decided to get the NGK spark plugs and I changed them and, after that it was still rough. Then when I went to show it to my friend it was running okay it is FRUSTRATING. Then from there I decided to get a fuel filter just to keep it running okay. Then about a week later the same thing happens to my car on monday a really rough idle. I then decided to mess with the cap and rotor on the very bottom part of the rotor where it meets the wire once I was moving it around and it started idling fine. From there I decided to get the cap and rotor replaced. Then that night as I was fooling around since I still had power somehow it fixed itself. Then as soon as I returning the motor was overheating due to a clamp that broke. I replaced the clamp and filled it with coolant. Soon after I achieved air lock. As soon as I went to replace the wires after this it ran rough again. Also note when I went to change the wires the 4th cylinder was smoking and I noticed trace amounts of oil around the top of the engine where the 4th cylinder is. Somone plz help cause my baby is sick and, I don’t know what to do. :.(
u blew a ring/ warped the head/ or cracked the cylinder… get a new KA
oil should never get into were the gas is going unless its fucked…
if u want a ka gimmie a shout and ill let you know when im ripping mine out. u can have it free if u can wait till i pull it(220km on it but still solid)
it is on top of the engine not in the cylinder. Also why would it work well for a week and then fuck up the next
pull your spark plugs and make sure they have no oil on them. if it smoking then u might be getting oil or coolant in there, smell the plug make sure its only gas. but with a ka giving u this much hell… just let her die
ill take u up on the free ka tho!!

wow wow first off sounds like your cam cover gasket is leaking oil into the spark plug vally. if thats the case thats not a big issue to you at this point although id look at it later.
second cryptic WTF u tell the poor guy u blew a ring/ warped the head/ or cracked the cylinder… get a new KA

OK sounds to me like a wiring problem explain this better:::::::::quote:::then decided to mess with the cap and rotor on the very bottom part of the rotor where it meets the wire once I was moving it around and it started idling fine.
