Sounds like a valve problem if the car is ticking. But I’m not sure. More info is needed. Also, this is not the forum for it. Tech forums is for questions like these. ---

my sohc diid somthign similar when my 4th injector lead was toast. ran on 3 for a few er um days. Shook wildly and the valves were noisy. Pull your plugs and see if they are all firing. ---

\*im a friend of his It shakes alot, we should check if all plugs are firing then huh? It even sounds like its got a really silent backfire at times and that tick is most definetly the valves, if not then the wires are arching out but I didn’t see anything. Can anybody suggest how to check each injector? ---

Check Timing guys sounds like its rediciously advanced. Set it to 16degrees and you will have a nice healthy shake. The ka motor has a skake to it, those motors like it rough. 😛 ---

when you need an oil change your vavles click on the KA. but if you really notice it, its probably not that. ---

I had a nasty shaking but I changed the oil and replaced the spark plugs. I am actually surprised at how much an oil change has on these Kae engines. Anyways hope it helps! Bryce ---

KA’s have huge crank drag in the oil pan. Try filling the oil next time you change it to jsut the low line nothing more and take her for a boot you will notice a heck of alot more responce and power.
