This sounds more like an ignition lead has either burned through or cracked. This will cause the spark to jump to the closest metal object ( the top of your engine. The ticking sound is the spark jumping. Take out the spark plugs and check them. They all should be reasonably clean except for the misfiring one. It will be black and maybe look wet. This will tell you where to change the ignition lead

SOURCE: 2002 Kia Rio runs rough when idling

well spend some change and have a simple tune-up.  Plugs and filters and readjust the idle.

It could be a corroded ground cable. follow the neg cable from the battery and see where it bolts to on the body remove the cable and clean and sand the area reattach the cable and spray some battery terminal protector on it. I've seen this a lot on older sorentos

My 2005 Kia Sorento is running hot I have no idea why.

did you check the coolant level? , is a good place to start, a low coolant will make the car running hot, also check if the radiator fans are runing when the car reach the normal temperature, usually in the middle of the gauge..other than , I recommend you to take it to your mechanic to be checked for leaks in case is loosing coolant
