Have you done the usual stuff like checking the plugs leads/coilpack, airflow sensos, all the sensor plugs etc etc?
I'm not really up on petrol stuff. But theres NO doubt someone on here will be able to help you out mate

Is the 1.4 MPi basically the old Skoda 1.3 found in the Felicia?

Would disconnecting the batt for a day then reconnecting it to clear the ECU help?

Mmm
The 1.4 8v engine is the old push rod felicia engine
Yes , check the spark plus to make sure that they are all ok
That would be the start
Maybe worth getting it checked on VAGCOM too to see if it throws up any faults
