1. What model year, engine?
2. Did you correctly gap the new plugs? I found results of 0.040 to 0.044 inches gap, but double check with the information you find out in #1. Never never trust packaging that says “Pre-gapped”!
3. Always remove the wire from one spark plug at a time when replacing plugs, unless you are doing major work - like replacing the engine. Label each wire and plug location with a Sharpie black or metallic ink pen.
Parts places like NAPA and Auto Zone sell spark plug gappers cheap, or might give you a freebie. Keep in your glove compartment with your tire gauge.
Also be aware that Automotive Forums has subforums for nearly every vehicle manufacturer on Earth, including all Hyundai divisions. You might get more traction by posting in the Kia sub.
