Diagnostics - I have tried toaf as well, that gave no DTC's.

3.5 bar is fine, if you look at my earlier post and supplied link I had a car that would start & run at only 2 bar. (not starting that easily though).

While after repairing the in tank connectors I got almost 4 bar, I still believe your car should run fine at 3 bar.

Hi Calum,

So you've got fuel at the correct pressure and sparks but the engine doesn't run.

I would be ordering a camshaft position sensor now.

Just got home, dark and raining 🌧, not going to have much chance tonight.

Easy start, well actually I could only find brake cleaner and she goes.

She is a bit lumpy.

Idling at about 600rpm

So it ticks over. Does it rev up??

PS. What's the chance ??---Your post yesterday and the one today were posted at EXACTLY the same time.---

---Spooky.

Needs brake cleaner for the restart.

It's what time I get home from work.

Yes rev's in neutral.

Any one know how to make toaf do live data?

Simons post 72 has the answer.--Easy start gets it going so the crank sensor takes over the running.-- It's your cam sensor that's DED.---

I wonder why there are no codes on toaf, the Autel, or my mates Torque app?

The torque app is very interesting.

Torque app is great. I used it to see Camshaft position sensor errors on mine.

You need to download both versions. The later one doesn't have the live data config file, but you can copy it across from the earlier version.

So we have FFS AND a failed cam sensor? Wonder what the cances of that are?
