I'm not a mechanic but sounds like something is losing pressure or leaking.
What does the oil look like? Is it gobbling coolant? Is it running a constant temperature. Could be cylinder head or something like that.
Could also be a fuel pump failure or the ECU could be buggered.

My wifes Ka had a coil pack failure, luckily I replaced it before it could arc out and shaft the ECU (they are known for this), not sure if the focus is the same........
