How can I fix a misfiring engine on my Kia Rio?

I have a 2016 Kia Rio and it has been misfiring lately. The engine starts to stutter and the check engine light turns on. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

Hi Maria, a misfiring engine on your Kia Rio could be caused by a few different things, such as a faulty spark plug or a fuel system issue. The first thing to do is check the spark plugs, and if they are worn or dirty, it's time to replace them. If that doesn't fix the issue, it could be a problem with the fuel system, such as clogged fuel injectors. I recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic for a diagnostic test to determine the exact cause of the misfiring.

Hey Maria, my Kia Rio had the same issue and it turned out to be a bad ignition coil. Ignition coils can wear out over time and cause the engine to misfire. You can try replacing the ignition coils yourself or take it to a mechanic for professional help.

Hi Maria, have you checked the air filter on your Kia Rio? A dirty air filter can also cause engine misfiring as it restricts air flow. Try replacing the air filter and see if that improves the issue.
