on fuel-injected cars, there are sensors which tell the ECU what the water and air temps are. If they are faulty, they may be causing the engine to get too much petrol when hot.

could do aith an emmission test on it to see what it is reading, these cars are bad for lambda sensors and worse than that cracked inlet ports in the cylinderhead .Did a couple when i worked at the dealers
