Pretty sure yes . It's exactly the same symptoms on the new engine as the old . The only part swapped from old is the alternator .

It stinks of fuel? Is it carb or injection? I'd check all the fuel lines asap!

I had similar with my old 1.6 vit and it turned out to be a blocked injector.Tried copious amounts of redex but in the end changed the injector,second hand off fleabay.What about the engine management black box?

It was a leaking inlet manifold . Changed it and it's like a new truck again
