Kia Rio starting problems

Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
when starting the car it splutters and cuts out. once it warms up it runs smoothly but it is taking longer and longer to get it running. i have changed the air and fuel filter spark plugs and leads. i have also had an o2 sensor replaced, but still the problem persists. i dont want to keep throwing money at it and i find it really annoying. one other point is when i start and press the accelerator nothing seems to happen
thanks in advance

possibly a coolant temperature sensor fault

yes you have a sensor fault on the car.
what is happening is the car engine is over fueling all the time until it warm so to me its a coolant sensor that has failed on the car so all i can say is get to the kia dealers and get hold of this sensor and it should be some thing that can be fitted by yourself but if you are not confident then get a garage to fit it for you
