Ground wire to fuel pump
Hopefully I solved my similiar problem. Stalling at inappropriate times, hard starting, etc. Check the ground wire to the fuel pump harness.
Located under the rear seat. You have to lift the rear seat forward.
The harness is under the carpet flap. The ground screw is attrached to a painted surface. Remove screw and sandpaper the contact area for metal to metal contact. Hopefully this will solve the problem.
This has bugged me for 6 months. Tried to narrow down a solution. Even Kia couldn't find anything wrong. Last 3 days I've been driving around and it hasn't stalled or had a starting problem. Have my starting fluid just in case. The problem was especially bad in hot weather (I live in Miami). Keeping my fingers crossed. Ordered a new fuel pump relay also.
