could be a shagged CAS resulting in the timing being totally out. could be a busted camshaft (sounds odd, but a mate had it happen on his CA18 where it would run, but the timing was so far out that it would shoot flames while just sitting there pumping the throttle. i have a video we took in the carpark of where he worked one night.) or it could be that the timing belt (or tensioner) is damaged or has jumped a few teeth. or a chance that it has simply popped a cooler pipe off

  1. check timing
  2. check spark plugs gap
  3. Knock sensors
  4. check water sensor(if temps get high it will shot more fuel to prevent detonation)
  5. check o2 sensor(not being able to read afrs will go into full rich)
  6. These are the common facts that occure or lead to when rich problems.

It has spark I checked the plugs were brand new as well. And the timing was checked by a mechanic as it just came out of the garage he told me to bring my injectors in to him so he can test them so I will see wat ge says about them, any other ideas thanks for the replies much appreciated
