Hi Guys, please need adivise and help.

My 1.4i Citi MP9 have no power at all cant reach 3000rpm. Jerks and backfires. Dark black smoke come out when it idle or try to rev it. Strong fumes can be smelt when driving and on a full tank of fuel only gets 300km. Changed TPS sensor on fuel rail. Cold start switch. Plugs. Distributor cap. Rotor.

Please advise of any tips or help.

hi

I would say backfire and such issues

Please start by checking timing or get a pro to check it for you

Cam /crank timing and also distributer timing

From there other issues can be checked
