Looks like it's missing on at least one if not 2 cylinders, and/or your timing is off. Sorry I haven't seen your other thread, but I would check those two things right away if it was mine.

Yes, you're missing on a cylinder or two.
Same thing happened to me about a month ago.

This is a miss on cylinder #4.

I did a full tune up, because uhhh, Autozone ignition parts are shitty.
the coil wire corroded at where it goes into the dis cap, and the plug that the wire goes into was melted-ish...
the coil wire just like...fell apart in my hand with a gentle tug.

I don't see why it was only missing on cyl 4 because of this.

So i replaced the wireset, cap, rotor, and plugs...Now it runs like new....again.
The parts in question were only about a year old.

sounds like you didn't take it straight out/put it straight in... sounds like you fucked with it a little.

Examine spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil... It looks like just a miss on a cylinder or two most likely, shouldn't be too hard/time consuming/expensive to fix. GL!

injectors check them for sure....it smellls like gas cuz your spark plugs arent going off too

if it was running before then you probably didnt hook up some wiring right check for spark and if no spark check the ignition system

yeah man same thing is up with m y ka24de. umm yur problem is that since yu run rich and it smells like gas means yur fuel isnt really burning. thus turnin it on more might cause your gas to not burn and leak down to your bearings, rings, etc. and afterwards if yu still drive it on 2 or three cylinders your enigine WILL cease. just as mine is doin right now. i have the exact problem. i have to find another ka cuz a rebuild is too expensive. yu have to replace spark plugs. the spark plug lines, maybe even the distributor cap and such. yu gotta check it out. dont turn it on so much. and especially dont drive it like that. the injectors might be a problem too.. oh ya forgot to say that if yu get that all taken care of. do an oil change just make sure. drain it real good and flush it in case there was any fuel in there. check yur dipstick for oil smelling like gas.

the car is sitting in my garage it is not even capable to drive at all . like i said it sdoesn't hold idle so i am sure i'd make it to the driveway then cut off. but yea i think i will replace spark plugs , wires , and the cap. and try again !!
