Cinquecento playing up yet again!

Okay, some of you may remember I had an injector light problem a while back, which was fixed courtesy of a new engine management sensor. Been running fine for about 2 months, and yep, the problems back, except this time its worse, it sounds to be running on 3, maybe even 2 cylinders. I have tried replacing engine man. sensor again but to no avail. other things which have been replaced, lambda sensor, crank sensor, spark plugs (which now seem to look a bit black considering they haven't been in there long, about 3-4 months) and new coil packs. I have tried the obvious resetting of the ECU which has only been a waste of time. :-( I have done compression test on all cylinders which seem to be okay, cleaned all spark plugs off and checked under rocker cover to check for any obvious signs of damage or anything which could lead me to a solution but couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. the engine also tends to struggle massively under load which has got progressively worse over the last few days making the car now undriveable as it cuts out as soon as you try to move. If you have any suggestions, please do share, no matter how far fetched or obvious they are, I am desperate for ideas. TIA

I just have, luckily! saying that, that seems to have a few issues at the moment too, clutch cable snapped on it yesterday!

Never mind, fixed it now, being the dipstick I am, hadn't noticed the map sensor wasn't connected!

Benny. Save up an buy a new motor. Buying second hand you take on the problems of why the seller sold. Believe me been there done that.

Buy a new motor and take a huge hit in depreciation the second you drive it out the showroom. It's not new any more.

Buy nearly new from a fleet buyer, they have had the depreciation hit and invoiced the lessor for it, they have seen that it has been serviced properly and on time. You still have some warranty and a new registration on your driveway to impress the neighbours if that is what you want. 6-month-old ex-hire cars are a good buy.

Do you live anywhere near a bus route?

Benny, please do not take this wrongly, Am I right in saying you do a bit of car dealing? take a tip, If you are not well up for pete's sake take someone with you that knows a bit, again I do not intend to be offensive but in the past you have had cars you have had a lot of problems with!! does that say it all? you may think you are saving money but believe me, I've been there like many others with used cars, take this as a bit of advise not criticism.
