I have identified your problem as having a shite engine.

Luckily for you, I have an X16XE for sale which really would look at home under your bonnet.

Comes with the manifold, gearbox, ECU and loom, etc. so there's no hassle with getting anything else.

check the seal on the fuel cap
if you can smell fuel in the car check the seal on the pump under the seats

check the dogy fuel line that goes into the inlet manifold see if its worked loose.......

and check the carcoal canister pipes havent come loose <i doubt this one very much

also check there isnt a hole in any of the lines inder ther car the fuel filter isnt leaking or there isnt a hole in the tank

if its loosing it through running
check the temp sensor on the block near the thermostat and the map sensor is working ok
