Your plea is a bit vague.
I thought Puntos were all injection, so no condenser in a distributor. If it is contact breaker ignition, there would still only be one condenser. I think you mean something else.
Let's have a few more details.
Model and year. Then re-post in the relevant model section, where owners of similar vehicles are more likely to see it and respond. Many only check their own section, to avoid trawling through lots of stuff they can't help with.
8v or 16v
A better description of the "condensers" you have replaced.
Which sensors have you checked, and how.
If it has OBD, best to get a code check done to see what codes are recorded. Update your location, there may be a forum member with MES (MultiECUScan) local willing to help.

my punto 1.2 cut out 3 times and now won,t start at all,there is no spark at all,have replaced the condensers,checked the sensers,but still won,t start any suggestions plz
does the fuel pump run when you turn the ignition on?,
as Nigel said , posting in the section for YOUR punto will get better results,
Charlie - Oxford - Punto 1242 16V ELX
Put it in one of the Punto sections.
But presuming the fuel pump primes (you should hear it whirr and cut out), check for wet petrol smelly plugs after cranking. No spark and no fuel past the injectors (but working fuel pump) = duff TDC (aka crank) sensor.
Most common -- by far -- cause of cut outs. Generally, a code reader won't pick it up: without a signal from the TDC sensor the ECU just thinks that the engine isn't turning so, logically, there can't be anything to record.
