hi, i am new to this forum so sorry if posted in wrong section,
last friday i was driving back from seeing my friend, and all of a sudden, the car just lost power, tried changing down the gears still no differance, aventuall got it to a stop at a layby, and it was still running but mis-firing, also when you reved it you could hear a knocking noise, luckily my mum was close by so i got a tow home,
when the engine is running, you can smell petrol really strongly, and the spark plugs are soaked in fuel, tried changing the single point injection unit but still no luck, now it won't start and the batterys flat
its a punto mark 1 1.2 8v single point injection
any help would be appricated thanks
