any ideas?

the kia should be crushed, why bring up these piles of crap on this board!!!!!!! i have a 98 forester and i dont like it as much as my legacy, but compared to a kia? come on now. this sounds like the aol board

could maybe the timing belt jumped a tooth for a leaky crack seal?

thank u Dr.Outback i hope this is true i just find it wierd that the motor would loose up after 45 k

on a cold cold start up the car has a rough idle and is make a knonking sound for the first 10 sec or so. the check engine light is not on and neither is the oil light on. car only has 44k on it and has been great so far. oil changes done every 3-4 k using purolator filters syn oil
