My car struggles to start once it has stop for a period of more three hours. When its going its perfomance is very poor, it even fail at all to reach 140 km/h no matter how good the road can be while eating a lot of petrol (abnormally). Once it has travel more than 100km it turns itself off from robot to robot. Please help me, I am frastrated

I have to be honest, I am not too familiar with this specific model. I don't think they sell them in the US. However, I will try my best to help.

When the car dies, does it start right back up? Have you checked fuel pump pressure to make sure it is within the manufacturer's specs? If it is weak, it can cause stalling and a hard start condition.

Let me know.
