If still poor try leak off test as described earlier in thread. Gives you a much better insight to what the injectors are really doing. Does the engine sound like a misfire on 1or 2 cylinders or does the whole thing run rough vibration poor acceleration?

I'd have to bow to Omegatoys greater knowledge, but to me, sounds like all 6 are running rough....

Sometimes the flow valve gets stuck on the pump. Sounds daft but try tapping the rear of the pump with a hammer to free it off before you start, or even better do you have a small 2 pin blue or brown connector on rear of pump?

I presume this is the solenoid in the pump? If so, its underneath, not sure how it comes off, probably needs pump to come off? I think thats the 2 pin connector that comes off seperately.

I do not consider beating it to death with Sammy Sledgehammer being classed as it winning...

I know what you mean - personally I would have stripped the whole engine side fuel system out from the original - as that worked.

If I was to go down the route of changing the injection pump over, I may as well have just changed the head on the original. The injection pump is chain driven off the cam chain, not something I wanted to mess with.
