We found a bad fuel pump relay. in the main engine swap the main relay/ and the fuel pump relay to see if your symptoms change. if they do, you found your problem. the two relays are the same part number.
2000 kia sportage gas guages will stick over time, hit the junk yard or order a new one from KIA. Not hard to change out done several.
it is not hard ,but need model and year.
Keep going! Keep it up! Keep trying! Kick it hard!
On the oil pan, shouldn't be hard to find if you get under there.
I have a 1999 KIA Sportage and experience the mysterious hard starting problem on an intermittent basis. I have found a solid shot of starter fluid into the air intake line just behind the Mass Airflow Sensor usually does the trick. As to why the problem exists or what is the root cause of the problem, that is still quite the enigma. Hope it helps. AD

Hard starting, loss of power, poor fuel economy, and a blowing noise under full acceleration.
NO. it has NOTHING to do with the engine starting. It works the fuel gauge in the dash only.
if you trying and you fail do stop keep trying you will get there.
