Hope helps with this (remember rated this help). Gooc luck.

There is a special tool that looks like a letter C and it fits over the tubing and presses into the coupling and unlocks it, picture is here: http://www.shopfreedomracing.com/Kia-Tools_c83.htm

there are only 2 kinds on EFI. (mostly) the automatic clip on kind and the unscrew kind, (see hex nut, or banjo bolt) no. the clip kinds are many. some you just push a tab and it unlocks. others a special tool to unlock them. no matter, just look and you can see what kind it is. lacking hex nuts. lacking lock tabs its the special tool day. that is what i ,do if lacking the FSM book..? (facts) or bingo on GOOGLE her was the 1st hit. (luck happens, and google is friend no?) http://www.ehow.com/how_6684774_change-filter-1999-kia-sportage.html step 3

Try finding the blower motor and see if it will work if you hot-wire it. If it doesn't, the blower motor will need replaced. If it does work the switch may be defective.

you should change the gas filter and ad a good amount of injector cleaner to higher octane gas. this should help.

the filter should be immediately above or beside the fuel tank, just after the fuel line leaves the top of the tank. Look at the diagrams attached.

If the light turned off you most likely have an electrical problem. your front hubs are vacuum controlled. when you put the car in 4wd it trips a switch in the transfer case and powers up the vac solenoid which engauges the hubs. You could have a bad switch or a corroded wire

under the hood to the far left corner you must cut the plastic cover open to expose the blower motor. remove the screws that hold the blower in place, pull the blower through the hole.

there are lines cast into cam gear and others gears all the way to crank gear all these MUST be aligned up properly with one another , if this is right the pin you describe will automaticly be in correct place if you think you turned engine over with not all these lines propery lined up chances are you have bent a valve stem that will make that vlv hang or stick , a cylinder compression test will quickly determine that out

this indicates that the gearbox is set/stuck in one gear .I presume this is an automatic ? try disconnecting the battery, leave for 5-10 minutes to allow the power to drain down from the electrical components , before you disconnect battery make sure you have the radio code if one is needed,re-attach the battery (only need to detach the earth lead from battery) try the vehicle, if this doesnt work get the OBD codes read and have them cleared ,this should fix it otherwise further diagnostic investigation will be required at a repair shop

Could be fuel pump/filter, or air filter. You could try starting with the air filter as this will be cheap.

i would recommend performing or telling your tech to perform a parasidic drain test. because if your battery is dying after a day of no use it sounds like a control module is telling something to turn on when not suppose to and is draining the battery so you will not be able to start it. hope this helps
