My 2001 kia rio was running real bad it felt like it wasn't getting any gas. took it to autozone said it was a cylinder 1&4 misfire i had already changed all the pugs, wires, coil pack. I just changed the fuel filter. now my car wont even start. it doesn't smell like rotten eggs. But when i unplugged the line from the fuel injectors it spit fuel out all over. not sure if that is supposed to happen. when it was running it felt like it was going to stall. when idleing was very rough. i would have to put the petal all the way down to the floor to even move. I just replaced the tranny about a month ago. any kind of help would be great. I don't really have the money to take it somewhere so hopefully i can get somewhere on here.
Change injectors 1 and 4 with 2 and 3 . After look if the missfire changes of cylinder 1-4 to 2 and 3
Did you use the right plugs?
Pull them all out, inspec, them for phisical damage.
Son put theplug for the 2.4 instead of the plugs for the 2.2 in his cavalier and he only clipped one with a piston (Missfire)
Do you have the fireing order correct?

I have decided to take the car to a mechanic on monday. My spark plugs are brand new just put them in about 2 days before the car complety stopped working. It only has about 68,000 miles on the car. i have not changed any belts on the car tried on a subaru and blew the engine wont touch those. I was driving and it started to bogg down real bad and hesitating. stopped driving about an hour later drove the car again and had a hard time going anywhere. it felt like it was running out of gas. I put fuel injector cleaner in about 2 days before all this happend
hi from uk considering age of car and the work you have done without succeeding in rectifying fault? may i suggest that b4 you spend more on parts ? that you have a compression test on cylinders this may be a possible looss of compression on one or more cyl's ? due to either burned exhaust valve/s or head gasket blown ? if your car has high milage ? have you had cambelt changed ?? this too would throw valve timing out as for fuel spurting when you disconnected line this will happen due to pressure in line recheck your old plugs are there signes of difference in colour of burning at plug tips or damp ? please come back with findings on above if you have any more info so we can offer /advise on info
