Any time I am at a stoplight or stop sign the car stalls and sputters like its gonna die then when you push on the accelerator it does the same and every once in awhile it hesitates when you push on the gas Im getting a P0440 code which is evaporator emission system from the check engine light what could be causing this

My friend, raw gas - fuel vapors. Do you know that one gallon of gas will push a 4,000# block of steel about 20 miles?

Please have your Kia dealer investigate and repair this discrepancy for you.

99 kia sportage sputtering under acceleration

Hi Missippirebe, I think you should replace the fuel filter and if the problem persists check fuel pump pressure. It should be at around 3.7 bar. Regards John

2002 KIA SPORTAGE SPUTTERS WHEN TAKING OFF

You'll have to figure out if it is a fuel or ignition problem.
Is the check engine light on ? Have you checked for trouble codes ?
It could be a coil, spark plugs, fuel pump, fuel filter, or a list of other things.

When I removed #4 sparkplug there is oil on sparkplug hole on a 2000 Kia sportage

If oil is on the spark plug tip then it could be from worn valve stems or from worn piston rings. When you accelerate away from the traffic lights and the engine blows a lot of greyish smoke then this is a sign of worn parts.
If the oil is leaking into the spark plug hole, then it could be leaking from the tappet cover, either the tappet cover bolts are loose or the tappet cover gasket is faulty.
