Overfuelling
Went out for a drive last weekend and everything was fine, pulled into a petrol station and the car started to hunt, revved it and it stalled, restarted to see black clouds of unburnt fuel from exhaust and drove home off boost.
Tried to start from cold and it wont fire and stinks of fuel
Checked injectors for leaks and there fine
Any other ideas ?
Thanks
James

Also, a knackered coolant temp sensor wouldn't be expected to stop it starting from cold, or cause the stalling/hunting problems you experienced.
Have you pulled all four plugs to see if they're wet? And, where is the stink of fuel coming from?
Is your car a '97-8 or '99 model year btw (coilpack in the centre or on top of the left branch of the manifold)?

From what you've told us so far it doesn't sound particularly likely to be the coolant temperature sensor. If that fails, you'd have seen the dash needle either drop to zero or go right off the top of the scale when you first had that problem (and pulled into the garage). Did you?

Needle didnt do anything
Spark plugs were wet with fuel and the stink is in the engine bay and tailpipe
Its a version 5

As you are on a SimTek James, the first thing I would check is that the map sensor still has it's vacuum feed from the manifold. I would normally put in a new pipe straight from the manifold to the map sensor doing away with the charcoal canister solenoid, the SimTek doesn't use it anyway.

Got to have it ready for the next round
