Are you sure you got the right numbers?

P1123 is not a valid code, at least according to my FSM which covers 1998-2000 North American Sportages.

Nearest code is P1121 then it jumps to P1307.

This is what the CD that came with my scanner says about code P1123

OBDII P1123 Fuel Trim Additive, System Too Rich

PRIMARY COMPONENT:

Air/Fuel Control System

SECONDARY SENSOR(S):

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
Oxygen Sensors

FAILURE CONDITIONS

If the air/fuel mixture at idle is too rich for more than 30 seconds during two back-to-back trips, this code will be set and the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will be turned on.

Details:


The code will be triggered if the following conditions are met:

Long term fuel trim value (additive) is less than -0.75 ms (-15% to -20%) for 30 seconds or more
Engine speed is less than 880 RPM )
Mass air flow rate is less than 6.1 g/s
Engine coolant temperature is greater than 158?F (70?C)
Engine in closed loop operation
No canister purge occurring

OBD-II trouble codes beginning with P1XXX are manufacturer specific codes. They CAN have different meanings. I checked around and Kia does not use P1123. See this...

But there IS the possibility that OZ Sportages are different.
