My 1999 2.0i petrol Sportage misfires when the engine starts, either hot or
cold. I've changed the plugs, air filter and fuel filter. The engine has
only covered 36,000 miles. Any suggestions as to what the problem might
be?

Did you check the wires and coils? The coils are particularly prone to
cracking on the towers.

If those aren't the problem, I'd suspect fuel injectors. I've seen a few
sportages with rusting fuel tanks that muck with the injectors.

I would check the plug wires.
