hi Shanny

I had similar problems and advice from rubjonny and other fine fellows gave excellent advice. I have put the link my problem / resolution below, it's is fairly short and might help. I cannot recommend enough the injector test in the technical section on the left hand margin. If your injectors are leaking you are effectively flooding the engine with fuel when its not running!

The test is excellent as you can see the results infront of you to help diagnodse the problem. Its cheap to do and straight forward.
