That I think means injector or whatever controls it. With any luck the fact that you’ve removed and refitted the connector might solve the problem

My car would not start at all.
When you restarted the car did it run smooth.

Did you replace loom to fix?

No i repaired the wire and then put plenty of tape round them all where i thought they might rub.

Thanks

Its just as easy to remove the manifold, it doesn't take long, It normally takes me 1/2 to 3/4's of an hour and then everything is easier to get at, I forget which side now but one side has captive bolts and the other has nuts (E-series, F have all captive) which can be dropped easily, so undo them until they are nearly off and use a telescopic magnet to do the final couple of turns a big rag or cloth underneath the side of the manifold is a good idea in case you drop one....Im Sure they are 11mm and while your at it delete the swirl flaps and you can give the manifold a good clean out
