Default Help me PLEASE B4 I torch it

Right bloody sapphire cossy
Removed engine to rebuild, was running fine before hand, no floods and will contaminate 5 litres of oil with 5 litres of petrol in about 10 mins of churnning
I have changed:-
map sensor
ECU
injectors

If I remove fuel pump relay it will start then plug it back in it idles fine but if you rev it the motor fluffs so still overfueling but dont know why
Any ideas gratefully received

cheers

check the regulator is working properly,have seen them give up and allow petrol to fill up the inlet manifold AND some,also check that both the wires in the plug that goes to the coolant temp switch are actually in the plug and making a connection to the switch.

i had the same problem when i did the headgasket
the problem was the plug that goes on the water temp sensor the wire inside it wasent touching the conection on the sensor so it makes it overfuel badly and will not run
or change the water temp sensor
hope this helps

check the fault codes on the ecu to start with. that will tell you if you have an open circuit on any of the sensors without having to fiddle around in the engine bay.

if you don't know anything about it, see here:
