cheers all for ur sugestions. i think i found the prob started striping the injectors out today.
wen i took off the vacum pipe from the inlet to the fuel reg thingy
it spurts petrol out of the top of the reg thingy every 60 secs it spurts out the petrol and goes straight in to manifold so thats y its flooding. i am rite aint i?......

Hi
Well done.
I guess you just need to change the pressure regulator then.
