Rough idle and cut out/stalls at times from high revs to clutch in.

Kia Rio 2013 hatchback / 1.3L / manual / tech 53000 miles
The car has had a service but the problem still persists. ---The symptoms--- 1. Rough idling at rest. Rev pin would fluctuate 100-200 RPM. After service that is no longer an issue but the even though the pin is not fluctuating you can feel the engine isn't smooth. 2. When driving doing 2500+ RPM and then putting in the clutch and no longer on the accelerator/gas, the pin as per usual goes down but at times it doesn't recover fast enough, goes below 500 RPM and cuts out. 2.1* Engine doesn't cut out on idle, only from a high RPM to the "clutch in" + "no gas". 3.

Engine tick

Kia Rio 2004 Hatchback 230 miles
In the morning i start my car, no problems. I idle for a minute before i drive off. Then 1/2 a km down the road a ticking noise is heard from my engine. Some days its louder than others and occasionally it wont make a noise at all. Once im up to speed (60km/hr) i will depress the clutch and let the car engine come to an idle while coasting. More often than not once the car hits idle revs it shuts up but sometimes it doesnt. If it doesnt a little further down the road the noise will generally shut up by its self anyway. Any ideas

There's a possibility the oil pressure is low, lifters will make a ticking sound when this occurs. From my experience and others from what I've read these engines are notorious for sludge build up inside the engine due to perhaps low quality oils or neglect by not servicing. If caught early you may be able to overcome this with flush or two of the oil in the hope of cleaning oil pump/pick up in the sump along with galleries that oil travels up through to lube up top.
