I've found the problem.



i have a Steinbauer/PCBox piggy back box running and one of the leads leading to an injector was peeled off. I've reinsulated it and job done. Seems like with the vibrations it would ground and the engine would cut off. It was one of those electrical gremlin nightmares that suddenly would lose power and dash die. TUrn key off and on again and it'd come back to life. No EML light or anything as such.


Thanks to my Android head unit running Torque via bluetooth to read out the error codes and finding an error that read something in the lines of 'Chassis fault', so that meant there was a short somewhere. Turns out it was at the injector electrical plugs.
