Engine Mechanical problem
2000 Kia Sportage 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Hello,
I was told my car is having difficulty with the 3rd cylinder. It is now backfiring, and running ver rough. Also the engine lite is on. Will this be expensive to fix, and what needs to be rally done? An old mechanic said it was difficult to fix and very expensive because he had to take the engine head off? Is this true?
Thank you.
