One common issue with the Kia Rio's engine is a faulty spark plug. This can cause the engine to misfire and result in the vibrations and noise you are experiencing. The solution is to replace the spark plugs regularly, as recommended in the owner's manual.

Another common issue is a clogged air filter. This can restrict air flow to the engine, causing it to perform poorly. Make sure to replace the air filter every 15,000 miles to keep your engine running smoothly.

A worn or loose accessory belt can also be the culprit. This can cause squealing or rattling noises from the engine. Check the belt for any signs of wear and if needed, replace it to restore proper functioning of your engine.

Additionally, low oil levels or dirty oil can contribute to engine issues. Make sure to regularly check and change your oil according to the recommended intervals for your specific Kia Rio model.
