to list a few
fuel filters
fuel pump
injectors
we had a truck that just stopped and wouldnt start, problem was fuel related, took a day to find that problem.
the fuel pump started to chew its self to pieces, and metal fillings were in the injectors everywhere,.
stil not working, pray urs isnt a simular problem

sticky valves-build up of carbon on valve stems-use an engine flush,but breath it in through inlet manifold not through petrol-then give good thrash

Yes if these engines are not taken to high revs to time to time they suffer badly from sticky valves.

try 10K Boost follow instructions and put it through the Air intake then Proceed to Boot it down a Motorway .. It's a bit Expensive but it cleared a problem in my corsa which Sounds similar to yours!
If it Saves you from Stripping the Whole lot down before PVS It's worth it's weight in gold

also if thrashed all the time then driven steady b careful cuz this can cause sticky valves,usully run tank down then stick a fiver of optimax in with redex n nail it-sorted-sometimes if ecu reports egr valve this can mean sticky valves as well if the valve sticks open as opposed to sticking closed
