Car with a poor start ,engine light comes on for a few, rev it, it goes away. Boost goes to .6 bar but no power at all. guess is CAS but also has strong fuel smell as well.

Check the fault code (see instructions here). That should save you from random replacement syndrome, I agree it sounds like it could be the CAS though.

Also its better if you start your own thread when posting on a new problem rather than adding to one from 2003! :)
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to sit on your arse with a blank look on your face.
