There could be several reasons for a rough idling in your Kia Sportage. It could be due to dirty spark plugs, a clogged air filter, or even a faulty fuel injector. I would recommend getting your car checked by a mechanic to determine the exact cause and fix it accordingly.

I had a similar issue with my Kia Sportage and it turned out to be a vacuum leak. Check for any cracks or holes in the vacuum hoses and replace if necessary. This should help improve the idling of your car.

In some cases, a rough idling can also be caused by a malfunctioning idle air control valve. This valve helps regulate the amount of air entering the engine during idling. If it is faulty, it can cause rough idling. I suggest getting it checked by a professional and replacing if needed.
