Default Fuellin probs

Car starts fine when cold on cold start.
Doesn't like starting when warm though.

Idle's fine but as soon as throttle is touched it overfuels like mad and the CO goes off the scale. Fuel ressure has been checked and it's spot on.

Have fitted another black ECU, Metering head, had injectors cleaned and removed dump valve and replaced with the broom handle mod but none of this seems to make any difference.

It's gettin on me tits now but its a 1990 ERST with 85k and mots to prove and I don't really want to torch it, but am coming close to it.

Anybody got any ideas while i pop down the shops for some swan vestas.

TPS has been checked and is in the correct position for the two/three stages of it to work as they should.
