Default Focus TDDI wont start after head rebuild!

Hello Everyone,

Ill just go ahead and bullet point what work I have done.
  • Damaged valves made an error during cambelt change
  • Had head refurbished by specialist.
  • Rebuilt head and timed up using correct tools etc as recommended by ford
  • Car wont fire up even after towing (Will fire briefly with easy start)
  • Cracked off injectors to check fuel is getting there yes it is.
  • Checked all wires were connected.

I have used bio diesel for the past two months in this car (never again) do you think there could possibly be some gelled up in the injectors?

Codes coming up on diagnostic machine -

Reduced fuelling to prevent engine damage?

Just fishing for ideas Im getting pretty desperate

were the injectors put back on the same cylinders they came out of? If not they will need recoding.

Bent the conrods? Could have lowered the compression ratio, afterall diesels need compression to fire.
