How can you stop a cossie overfueling?
my cossie is overfueling, it puffs out a fair bit of black smoke on start up only, i replaced the spark plugs a max of 500miles ago, and just took em out tonite and they are black, at the moment since it started overfueling it has a bit of a starting prob, where it stutters and cuts out 2-3times then starts and runs no probs after that ( i thought i t was unrelated, but wondered if maybe its all related?), i got 220miles to a full tank
when it was serviced i had the fueling checked and all was ok, i am due to take it back to SCC to get some of the damage from the crash sorted, so i just wondered if there was a way to fix this so i can get i tdone when i take the car in
cheers for any help

cool cheers, for the replies, will check the coolant temp sensor out, (quick trip to Stu's ebay shop may be in order), is a new sensor hard or difficult to fit?
the smoke if balck on startup so as said i dont think its stem seals, (or hope not lol)

my car is running closed loop and when warm it sits at 0.5% Co so its all working, except it takes bloody ages to warm up and as i only use it for short journeys i still struggle to get it to do 200 miles on a tank

A cossie should never take ages to warm up. Certainly no more than a mile or so. Change the thermostat and ENSURE its the right one...
