about 3 weeks ago i was round a mates unit, i started mine up, parked next to him, jumped him off, then parked back up again.... when i went to leave an hour later, it started up fine, drove fine for about 30 seconds, the just cut out on me 
it starts/stutters for about 10 seconds then cuts out again whilst smoking its tits off...
the next day i went to it and it started straight up, gave it 30 seconds, and the idle dropped and started to stutter, and when i went to rev it, it sounded as if it was bogging out and wouldnt rev above 1200 ...
i had it diagnosed... and apparantly the fuel pump was at fault.... so i thought id wip the engine out, as the clutch needed doing, aswell as the cambelt which i discovered had a hole in it, and just a general tidy up of the bay and engine etc...
i locked everything off (done this so many times now) changed the pump over with the bracket.... the only thing i didnt change was the injectors (they are still lucas) as i read that you can still run bosch with lucas... I put the engine back in and heres the problem i have now....
It now struggles start (takes ages infact) and when started it struggles to idle, but it revs fine aslong as i dont let it drop below 1000rpm.... but when i leave it for an hour or so after being run, i have to crack off the injector pipes and bleed it again...
Still smokes like mad by the way
Also i took all 4 injectors out, took them to get tested, one was at fault, so i got it repaired, and it hasnt made a difference
IT REALLY IS STARTING TO PI$$ ME OFF....
Please Help Me
