MG MGF Technical - MGF over fuel

Just been recovered home by the AA and the mechanics says that my MGF is over fuelling itself flooding the engine but he can't say why, has anyone got any ideas?
thanks

had a look in the archives. found this post from will munns :

That does sound like flooding, common causes of flooding are poor driving practice for instance blipping the throttle when turning off or running for very short peroids of time,
Also the Map sensor may give this on an early car it is a tube from the end of the manifold to the ECU, but I would think the car would be undrivable in these conditions.

Does the car run OK to drive once started?

Thanks for the reply, no the car wont run at all. The mechanic disconected the fuel supply and the car stared but as soon as he reconnected the fuel it flooded, and cut out

MAP sensor could be at fault, but so coule fuel rail pressure, ECU temp sender or dribbling injectors. I've also come across it with leaking (poss slightly bent) valves...

can you post the car details?

First thing to try is the ECU temperature sensor as the car will overfuel if this fails. These are only a few pounds
