I've let the engine light flash for 3 mins, done it twice. Then cranked and it just splutters, if I move my foot down it stop spluttering untill I hit the floor with the pedal and it starts spluttering again

Did you wire in the sensor with the plug as i described? it has to be the correct way or the signal is truncated

As far as I know yes, pin one to 13. It's giving perfect read out though, would it still do that if they were the wrong way round?

It would give the rpm reading anyway just that it might not match with the timing if the polarity is reversed... though as you describe it right now it might be a fuelling issue

Well not really getting any spluttering now.. do you think it's worth swapping the wires?
I've disconnected the fuel line at the fpr jist to see what flow is like, it's not the high pressure I was expecting but I don't really know what they are meant to flow like.

The only other things I changed before doing this work were the non return valve and the air bleeder on the fuel filter housing. But I did have it running for a minute after. Thinking I might put the old air bleeder back in to rule my spare out. Have left it jacked up on the rear end overnight. And I'm running out of ideas aside from that

Update. All fixed and running. Although the in tank pump sounded perfectly normal it must have been low on pressure as I swapped it for my spare (don't have a pressure test kit) and it fired up right away. Possibly the most releaving sound I've ever heard

So glad to hear you got it fixed.Update. All fixed and running. Although the in tank pump sounded perfectly normal it must have been low on pressure as I swapped it for my spare (don't have a pressure test kit) and it fired up right away. Possibly the most releaving sound I've ever heard
I suppose it is symptomatic of modern vehicles that the idea of it being a fuel issue didn't get mentioned till post #20.
Still looks like you might have fixed or checked out a lot of other stuff on your voyage of discovery.
Well done mate!
