Hello again!
There is the (late ☺) update: while changing tyres I noticed that boundaries of rear fender liners do not match those of rear fenders. They are just fastened on some points. I am dissapointed that they could not make simple fender liners right. What are your experiences? There are some photos I took.
What about 1.33 1NR-FE engines. I've read they go only about 120 000 miles (cca 200k km) before they wear out. Has anyone reached that mileage? Is it really so?
When the car (or weather) is warm, is there any white smoke coming out of the exhaust? If yes, it can be head gasket.
Otherwise, this guy shows how to check for leaks
Good luck!

Hello!
I'm not a mechanic but common sense tells me you have a problem with fuel supply or engine compression is bad.
There are two sites with some general info if you want to go DIY. Hope they help.

In one of my previous car (1999 Fiat Uno if I remember correctly) I was able to lift the pedal as high as possible. Such action did not affect its functionality.
I'm glad it helped you.
If battery is in great shape and not too old, something is draining it or alternator is not charging it.
For draining there is a video from the same guy
