Greetings again everyone!!! O.K., the mechanic I thought I could trust royally screwed me. It was not the fuel pump at all. He told me the old one didn't work. I told him I wanted the old pump he took off of the Kia. When I got it home, it worked. So, he couldn't fix my Kia and he said he had no idea what was wrong with it.
It was the EGI relay and the FUEL PUMP relay that had gone bad. Replaced them, $13.62 each at Kia. Car was still having a little trouble starting. However, my husband and I changed the spark plugs and now the car is up and running well. However, when the mechanic took out the fuel pump, he broke off 4 screws on the plate. So, he tried to drill new holes. When I filled my gas tank up I had a major leak. I am working on that now. Can only get a replacement piece from Kia if I buy the whole $331 pump assembly. Therefore, am working on making my own gasket. The only major problem I have is: can't fill the tank up right now and I have a vacuum leak. But, the car is starting and running well.
Hooray!!!! Thanks to those of you who replied. Your help is greatly appreciated.

The ebay store is "Fuel Pump King" out of Miami, Florida. It only cost me $49 plus the overnight fee of $17.85. Which is much better than the Kia price. Anyway, if it turns out to be more than just the fuel pump, I'll let you know.
Again - Thanks!!!
