  1. What your "ECU guy" has done is fool the ECU (and you by the way) into thinking that the pressure in the manifold is less than it actually is. As a result the engine doesn't adjust fuel pressure and timing to produce the necessary power depending on the load. So yes, your car isn't able to handle load due to the "modification". I suggest you restore it to how it was originally and find a good mechanic who can fix the issue properly. A simple diagnosis will tell you why the engine is running rich. I doubt even the O2 sensor this guy used is a working one. What's important is to address the actual issue instead of focusing on the symptoms.

  2. its worth it as long as its mechanically sound, i have driven a rally prepped same punto white color one and its effing fast. straight pipe + lighter flywheel is a bliss in this. Parts can be get down from singapore if its not available here, but many have spares or the stores will get down for you. I dont think the body parts are here unless u buy a salvage car or a car for parts. Fuel wise it should do around 9 in colombo. Resale wise this car wont be much of a hassle as its not overloaded with much electronics, but worth than other cars in the same price bracket or less than 1 million. A 4 door GT?

  3. Preparing the engine for re-assembly. Most people neglect or even flat out forget to give the engine block a pressurerized oil,air and water treatment before re-assembling it.But it is a must especially if the engine has been idle for a long time.Remember I'm talking about the block only,remove the Crank shaft along with the con rods,liners(if applicable) and pistons.Your local service station should be able to handle it. 1.Pressure wash the block with a 1/2 litre of penetrating oil.Have them concentrate on the insides and the water/oil lines around the block. 2.Wait about 10 minutes then pressure wash with 1 litre of diesel, 3.Air it out with highly compressed air,again concentrating on the water and oil lines surrounding the combustion chamber 4.Pressure wash with water. 5.And finally.finish it off with a litre of petrol.applied same as above.
