dchrstmn yes those robber things are your coils you can unhitch the wire that goes to each one first one at a time so you dont get them comfused. then pull the coils out make sure if you pull the wires off that you pull the gray peices out alittle on the side of the switch other wise you will break it then you can see the plugs down in there. know if you are feeling like the car is hesitating like mine. i replaced the plugs and it still wasn't it. so the next thing is it could be your coils like mine. to test that unplug one coil like i said above at a time if your engine bogs then its not that coil keep going until the engine doesnt make a change in noice/bogg down and that coil will need to be replaced. they cost about $60-$100 depending on where you buy them<NOTE: the coils dont matter which cylinder they go in when you buy them they are all inter change able for the kia'sHope this helped in anyway

something is damp in the morning causing weak spark. it dries out from the heat of operation
and good spark returns. call a dealer service department, see if this is a common problem, and if they have a cheap fix, such as a new set of plug wires, or some drying agent sprayed into a specific area under the hood.

Give me some more information about this problem. May be i can help.

this vehicle only has four cylinders so its the furthest from the front of the engine

check the wires to the sensor for fraied or breaks

were the codes cleared after replacment if not try that
if they were test the wires for cam signal and check for damaged ---cuts---fraied---pinched

Before I evaluate this, have him scan for codes and let me know what they are with definition and I can tell you how to proceed. I know these had/have transmission issues but all in all good cars. Don't get discouraged.

This noise could be generated from the front brake pads and rotors. Or brake dust accumulation in the rear brake drums. A simple cleaning process will/should fix this issue for you. Hope this helps...

Keep an eye on your oil level, but I suspect when you did oil change "someone" spilled old oil on an exhaust pipe. It happens all the time. But for peace of mind, check your oil level to make sure there isn't a leak.

if the car is automatic transmission check the speed sensor does the car hav any symptoms?
