Good morning people..i go by the name of Nathan also known as Nate

I have a 1.8 CTI mk1, i need help with some mechanical problems..first i did my rings and vavles because it was smoking heavy, after i did that the car had abit of power back but then just a couple of weeks after that it start miss firing..it start with the jerk miss fire where the car would jerk up until; the fuel kicks in after 3 or 4k revs. but now its complety missing and the car lost not all his power..but most of it coz if i put my foot on the gas it doesnt gor further than 2k revs. honestly i dont know much about cars but recently i got into it coz i love speed and im a German fan ofcoz lol

what advice can be given to me and how much is it going to cost me?

Not that up on CTi but the 1st thing I would be looking at is the fuel filler neck for holes, shine a torch down there and maybe look inside the fuel tank for rust and dirt, it may be a blockage in the fuel system causing your problem.
How old are the spark plugs, HT leads, dissy cap, rotor arm , air filter and fuel filter?

Spark plugs are not that old also not that young..but i was told to change my distributor cap..but i dont want to change that and then its the fuel pump or something about the fuel...i do get get a fuel smell now and then but only if i put my foot down on the accel..its fuel injected also

Dissy cap and the rotor arm do wear out and should be replaced every couple of years, HT leads are also over looked and best replaced after 4 years or 40,000 miles. Fuel filter should also be replace every 20,000 miles, air filter changed every year.

Your problem could be something else but a good service won't do the car any harm.

All of the aforementioned parts are cheap to buy so for £50 you could do all of the, anyway and it's not going to do any harm
