right, so it ran fine when you took it in to get the clutch done, and then when you came to get it back it's running like crud/not running at all?

 

NOT injectors then...

 

Earth strap is the usual culprit here, but you say you've checked that.

 

Next culprit is the clutch fitters trying to start the car without the earth connected which causes the starter to try and earth through the ECU burning it out... although Daz has passed the ECU as healthy...

 

After that, the things that could cause this kind of major overfuelling tend to be broken wires or disconnected sensors... check the wires and connectors to the ECU where it goes through the bulkhead (if the engine loom's been yanked, this is where it'll cut through), CO pot (can be quite a tight cable which can get yanked when dropping the gearbox out), Lambadadadaadada sensor wiring (engine swings at random angle when the gearbox is yanked out which pulls the wires tight and snaps 'em either at the connector on the rear engine mount, or on the way to the lambda sensor from that connector), and lastly, My favourite one.... the ECU to throttle body vacuum hose which will have been pulled tight wne the engine was loose in the bay as they removed the gearbox and which may have ripped, trapped or kinked in the process....

 

Hope this gives you some pointers to find the fault... 8)
