First, I would change to a new shop. Any decent shop should be able to isolate where the gas is going and fairly quickly.

Check for leakage, corroded fuel lines, fuel tank, or leaking fuel between fuel rail and injector.

If car is running poorly; low coolant temperature and poor O2 sensor performance (rich condition persists), then engine diagnostics should disclose the problem.

good luck

Thanks a lot for the reply.ently i recently change the fuel tank when i noticed it was linking. i have also taking time myself to look at the injector host and see if there is any linkage and didn see any obvious linkage there.

like you said i will try other shop around and see if i could resolve it. quickly can the brain box cause this? why becos a mechanic told me i may need to change it
