Hi Phil, I would check the in-tank electric pump, I had one recently that had the same symptoms, after I checked fuel pressure(it had none)it failed to start due to air I had let into the pipes. I was suprised how well it ran with a pump that was open circuit. I didn't check fault codes though.

Even though your not familiar with the code it is suggesting a fueling issue.

Monitor the Rail pressure sensor and see what it is telling you.

Has this system got a supply pump?
Monitor the supply system before and after the filter.(under load)

If it has got a supply pump, measuring the pump current with a scope may lead to some answers.

Hi,
Can you hear the pump in the tank running when you switch the ignition on?
The pump relay is under the driver's seat, check there is power out of that one, if that's ok, & no noise is heard from the pump, usually it's the in tank pump failed.

As this system uses unit injectors & has no pressure sensor for fuel, no other pressure code would be logged.
They seem to run by drawing fuel up by the action of the unit injectors, but won't bleed if air is introduced, & usually won't rev over 2500 rpm when the pump has failed.

Regards
Steve
