    Need a bit of advice

    I brought a 1999 saxo 1.4 furio and was told that it needed a new coilpack, so i brought one changed it and had problems, so i got a diagnostics check and there was a map sensor problem along with the 02 sensor so the guy wiped the ecu problems 4 hrs later car struggled to start and this late morning same problem,
    Ive now brought both sensors and could only change the MAP sensor but its still struggling to start and run, would the ecu need resetting again or could it be another problem?

    thanks for any advice

    quick update any advice would be greatfull

    had lambda sensor changed today and another diagnostic check only showed coolant temp sensor problem after the car ran fine until about 1 hr after went out on way back started to missfire only when slowing down but it made it home later took it out again thinking it was ok but the problems started again i cleaned the icv the plug that goes in it was a bit damp(could that be a problem aswell?)
    checked the spark plugs and they were wet again (fuel smell)

    any help please?

    they plugs were all wet my guess was way too much petrol getting in due to faulty sensors, they are only 10mth old but they will be changed very soon as im getting a service if the coolant temp sensor works im fitting it today just waiting for it to get here
