Hi guys replaced the cps today.still the same faults occur mil light even more noticeable with every gear change.Could this be the 4 th injector?is there a way to check it?Thanks for all your help.Really like the p38 wish I had made the jump sooner. cheers chris

Hi wammers I'm listening I will not disturb the CPS bracket.I will have a look at the wiring to the sensor.Time to take her off the road its getting to stressful to drive when this fault occurs. cheers chris
