   It's not known to go.
   
   If it broke shut, I suppose car would run rich

   Its running very rich, is there anyway i could test it? What bar should a standard 16v be? I have 3 bar iv tried but that seems even worse.

   Im guessing the 3.5 bar allows more fuel to pressure up? I need to cut the fuel.

   If engine is standard then use standard fpr - as the problem will be elsewhere.
   
   What Ecu you running?
   
   As per above, why you say it's running rich?

   There alot of fuel coming out the fuel return and when it does rev hard it pushes black smoke out and you can smell its getting to much fuel.

    Off the rail straight to the return port on the tank, it never used to have any fuel come out it used to be blocked and even when i unblocked it it had nothing come out but now it comes out like a hose even if i unplug it off the rail.
