Even with Delphi's own Diamand recoding machine it can be very difficult to recode them when the car has logged an injector fault. It's even trickier with Solus, or other non-Delphi recoding machines. I borrowed a Delphi handset, and even with one of their most senior technicians on the other end of the phone it took a lot of messing about to get it to run.
If the glow plug light is flashing when you're cranking it suggests that it is injector related.
Go easy with the brake cleaner - it's not going to do the engine much good, nor solve your problem!
Good luck!
Thanks, I'll check the injector codes with F-Super when it arrives. Solus only displays the current injectors as sixteen zeros!
Was only cranking it over on brake cleaner to make sure the engine was still in one piece.....possibly ran it for 10-15secs like that to prove the theory.
How do the codes end up way out if the engine was previously running ok?
Thanks
