I recently had to replace the timing belt and valves on my kia. Once it was running it idled very rough. When we ran a diagnostic on it and it read that RPMs are lower and higher than expected. We then replaced the throttle position sensor. Now it is kicking out many different codes: misfire in #1-4 cylinders, injectors are bad, fuel sensors, air sensors I am at my wits end with this car! Any suggestions?

Maybe a vacuum leak, hard to tell, without something to point in the right direction? Can you look at fuel trims?

Right I can understand that.I looked at every hose I could see. Top and bottom, and couldnt find nothing. But your right there could still be something I might have missed. And im sorry but what do you mean by fuel trims. Like the connections for fuel lines and stuff? Cuz I had to replace a couple of them when I changed the fuel pump.

As far as vacuum leaks, it could be a gasket, somewhere. You need a scanner that shows live engine data to see fuel trims.
