Same error code. I thought I would check the the fuel filter for separation. Opened it up and had a look.

I ordered the clip but can't work out how to clip it on when I get it as the groves dont line up at the front I've tried twisting to match the photo below but it doesn't seem to wanna budge?

Also the rev counter moves slightly when I try to start it so don't think it is the crankshaft even though that code is thrown up.

Hi Pat,

It's best not to "think" but to test and be sure! The test I described will reveal any faults in the entire fuel pump circuit. Another member recently had the same symptoms as you. We traced it to damaged wiring between the engine and passenger footwell fuseboxes, so be cautious about relying too much upon a twitching rev. counter.

Simon

Looking at your photos, I think you have the dreaded fuel filter separation.

It isn’t ‘easy’ to push together and twist, but it is doable.

Managed to do it and fitted the clip hey presto it started first time!

I'm still baffled as to why I got those error codes or if all 3 did go at the same time.

Error code for crankshaft and Cylinder 6 pencil coil changed them both now I'm wondering it they needed doing at all?

A good principle to follow Pat is to change only one thing at a time. Anyway, congratulations on your success.
