Hi folks. Sincerely needing advice on my recently acquired i20. I'm basically at the end of my tether (and two months of my life) trying to get the engine running smoothly. It's a 2012 facelift model with a G4LA engine. I bought it as a non runner and it had codes for crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor and alternator fault. After replacing the sensors and alternator it started and idles around the 1000 revs mark, however if the throttle is used it dies like putting hand over the air intake on a carburettor engine. When running and the ignition is turned off, it continues running roughly for approximately 20 seconds before stopping with a heat shield type rattle. There is also a strong smell of petrol after. There are no codes present and the EML is not on. I have done what is below and I am waiting on a new fuel filter arriving. I've doubled the time I told the missus I'd have it sorted by so atmosphere is a bit tense as it's supposed to be hers! HELP please! I'm all out of ideas.
