Hi i have had a small engine fire in my 106 xsi 1.6, iv had all the work done to get it up back and running again but its over fueling lyk crazy! checked all sensors, (all working) been on the machine and everything is fine, any suggestions any one??

check water temperature sensor, especially the wire that goes into the plug. these are prone to snapping.

lambda sensor can also cause overfueling

i've had a few problems with over fueling.. i changed both temp sensor and O2 sensor, it did nothing.. i then found the purge canister which was blocked.. it is under the driver's side wheel arch, take off the top pipe(the one without a metal clip). Bring the pipe so the end is visible, and rev the engine a few times, if this is it you will notice straight away..

hope this helps
