Bad gas, try a higher octane like 91.

SOURCE: change spark plug wires on 04 kia sedona

REMOVAL OF THE PLUGS:

Do not attempt any maintenance on spark plug if engine is hot. 
1. Disconnect negative battery terminal. 
2. Carefully remove high-tension leads. 
3. Use compressed air to blow any dirt or debris from around spark plug hole. 
4. Check that spark plug fits squarely in spark plug socket and remove spark plug.

Raise a vehicle and install SST(OK552 131 001) in order to replace cylinder 2, 4, 6 spark plug. 

INSTALLATION:

1. Install spark plug into cylinder head.

Tightening torque : 18~22lb-ft (25~30N·m, 2.5~3.0kg-m)

2. Reconnect high-tension leads. 
3. Reconnect negative battery cable. 

Hope this helps and simple to understand. Good luck

2002 Kia Sedona. It will also point you to the resources you need for getting the diagrams of how the belt needs to go back on.

Here is a link to that article:

I just bought an 04 isuzu rodeo with only 75000 miles it seems to run rough and makes a knocking noise and shakes and no the chk engine light is on what do you suggest I do

First thing I would check is timing then plugs and wires. With electronic ignitions, even bad plugs and wires can cause rough running and pinging and knocking, backfire and such.

Where is the knock sensor on 2003 kia sadona?

You don't say which engine you have but the knock sensor is usually into the side of the block(may look like the oil pressure switch) or into the head casting. Go on "images" and that will help you recognise it.

04 kia optima 2.7 V6 changed out altenator and Serpentine belt When I start the car it reeves engine 2000 rpm then climbes to 4000 rpm than back down to 2000rpm repeats over and over Serpentine belt is...

Sound like you either had to disconnect a wire to get out of the way when you removed the altinator and didn't reconnect or you knocked one off go back and check your work.

I need to know what code p0326 means for a 2001 kia sportage. i know it a knock sensor code what do i do with information.

Knock sensor is an indication you are having a mis-fire with your spark plugs if one fires and another misses causes the engine to knock 3 possible issues.

Spark plugs

Older vehicle may need gas treatment

Worst case valve or cylinder seal issue
Try the first issues dont change knock sensor it maybe doing its job

The last solution you shouldnt need to do unless you are getting black smoke from exhaust or engine is knocking realy bad
