Technical *HELP* Punto 1.1 55 Sx not starting after plug, coil and lead change

(snip) I best get on my knees again ad check the timing again although its a **** to do :(

That'l be the Ecu buggered then as i have just started the car about 10-15 times :(
You dont have to get on your knees to set the timing belt properly. The mark on crankshaft is quite ambiguous anyway.
Get a torch and a mirror and check through the hole in top clutch housing, you will see 0 deg and 5deg arrows in there together with a line on the flywheel.
Attaching jumper leads or push starting car cannot damage the ecu.
To test out the MAP and ecu and O2 sensor, attach a small hose to the MAP and suck very hard on other end, whilst engine is running. The engine will lean off and stop rapidly.
Tony.

Hi there,
Sorry about reviving this thread but did you find and resolve the problem? as I have a car with similar symptons
 
probably only running on 2 cylinders hence the stink of petrol and the 2000rpm rev limit. By now you will have burned out your catalytic converter with all that petrol swishing through. The cure is a new set of coils and a new cat if your MoT is due.
