Answer
Hello and thanks for the question...I'll try to help.
I would suggest that you have the vehilce looked at by a different garage. Have them do a fuel pressure check as well as look at the engine for basic tune up condition. You should also, have the timing belt looked at, and replaced if needed. Another thing to have them check is the computer system for fault codes and to make sure that the sensors are with in range.
Hope this helps,
