Citroen zx 1.4 petrol. When engine is warm the car starts to run very poor as if it has a flat spot or dirt in the fuel. Changed coil pack 1 and 2 spark plugs and leads injectors have been replaced as well

and a compression test has also been done. still no joy? Any ideas.

Did you check the colour of the spark plugs?

 

If they're white (not light tan, white, check in the following link):Spark plugs guide , then it means you have lean mixture.

 

Assuming no compression problems (as you wrote), and parts you stated already replaced, I would go for checking the fuel pressurein the system.

 

If it's a single point injection, then pressure is ~ 1.5 bar. for multipoint - ~3 Bars.

 

If it fails (make sure the engine is warm, where the problem appears), then main suspect should be fuel pump (especially for multipoint). Next one is the fuel pressure regulator.
