Hope this helps.

Hi Bruce you need it pluged into diagnostics it could be the MAF or it could be weak compression. Why were the coils changed??

check the accelerator position sensor or accelerator motor for connections or problems.

Sounds like one of your Catalytic convertor's are plugged up.

The fuel pump of the KIA sportage mentioning is new and the fuel filter and yet the vehicle will start instantly but the acceleration is not picking and firing, pls what could cause this problem?

Sounds like an air leak or throttle prob. Use brake cleaner around all hoses & manifold (intake) and see if it revs up. If so locate the air leak

It sounds like you have a master cylinder issue. I would recommend replacing master cylinder and having system bled.

Drive only on cool days

Pending misfire could be attributed to a lot of things. My first guess is plugs and wires, but if they've been replaced that ends there. Fuel pump would be #2 guess; pumps don't need to be broke to start the computer into wildcat throwing codes mode and freaking the driver out. Third guess would be a vacuum leak or evap leak somewhere in the hoses to/from the air box. When problems like these arise with the engine, if you think what does an engine need, you'll solve the problem. The engine needs a correct combination of air and gas and the correct timing of compression and spark to ignite. If one of these is off, you have a nice light on your dash. It goes out for you because the car returns to normal while you're driving, which to me indicates something is about to fail in that system I just described, but works good enough intermittantly to throw the code and also erase it. Look for any loose or disconnected hoses inside the engine, should be a sticker on top of the hood inside that indicates position and placement if you find any.
Good Luck

Possibility its the speedometer if it speeds up and slows down . If cable driven make sure cable ois fully seated and locked in place. good luck
