What was the code? Should start with a "P". I wouldn't trust exactly what they tell you at the auto parts store when it comes to diagnosis. If you provide the code, I will check it for you in Kia's code manual. You can also register at kiatechinfo.com and access all of the service manuals for your vehicle.

I would bet its the throttle position sensor.

I had a torn air intake duct before that acted similarly. It was torn underneath where it was hard to see. It caused it to run lean at idle, which if I recall would be worse when cold.

Be sure and find out what codes it is tripping.

"Start with the fuel filter" = I have no idea, but I'm happy to give useless advice anyway!
