When you say the engine has been changed, why (what was wrong with the
original engine) and is this 'new' engine new / rebuilt or just second
hand. Also, when you say the injectors have been changed, are these
new / rebuilt or just second hand?

it was a secondhand engine, and has only done 54000.
the vehicle went into a podle of water the water was socked into the
combustion chamber and it bend the conrod the engine seized up leaving
abig hole in the engine block. the injector are from the engine that got
damage and the pump.

I'd suggest new injectors and pump; the flood may well have damaged them
too.  Check the whole fuel system for water and dirt.

My bet and first port of call would be one or more damaged injectors,
the symptoms are classic over fuelling due to weeping injectors. The
pressure that built up in the combustion chambers before the con-rod
let go could have easily damaged the injector.
