then read the FT from cold in the morning after a night rest without starting the engine only with ignition on, it should be the same with the coolant temp at that point if the sensor is OK and close to the ambient/overall temp(use a laser thermometer on the head for that) if you see what i mean

I will try to do it in the morning might be a bit hard though because I start work at 05:00, also i don't have a laser thermometer. I might not get to it till Saturday. At which point I will be redoing the injector seals and washer again encase I have messed them up some how.

Hi all
Got to this just now the readings are.
Coolant temp = 23.0
Fuel temp = 24.7
Inlet air temp = 24.2
Air flow =4.5
Ambient pressure = 101.7
Manifold turbo pressure =102.81

Hope this can help me, I'm getting a bit fedup with this problem now.


cheers
Stewart.

I presume it was with ignition on and engine not running then the readings are OK, now watch the rpm and battery voltage while cranking and tell how much is the airflow after it started
