Just solved a similar cold start problem , sudden onset , turned out to be mouse had nibbled part thru spill pipe under the air trunking pipe that goes over top of engine , took a bit of finding as I had replaced the spill pipes a few months back and all the others were perfect !!
I think you've just brought Datatek out in a cold sweat.
I believe that is the reading from a sensor that isn't present.

If you have a MAF, that temperature reading is normal as the sensor does not exist, it does not mean the MAF is faulty, although of course it maybe.
From memory, the swg set point and actual should not be that far apart and the modulation looks high but it's a long time since I looked. I could if it would help post screen shots of mine if it would help to compare but not until late tomorrow at the earliest.

Could be, I do not know without checking as FIP's are not my speciality, I just don't remember such a big difference in the readings.
Perhaps he will come along and clarify. I'm assuming if that's correct a new timing chain fitting would correct that?
A timing chain would be good, but it is also possible to retime the pump (aslong as the chain hasn't stretched excessivly that is)
Don't forget if you fit a new chain etc, in 20K you'll have to retime the pump in anycase!
Well it's done 76000 and have no history so I have no idea wether this has been done or not. How difficult is it to retime the pump? Worth a try before buying a full timing kit
IIRC I have heard figures of £250 or so for a Diesel Specialist to retime the pump...

76000 is nothing for this engine, I have one on 162k and the other on 112K and the timing is fine.
