Getting error message on Foxwell saying "Fuel pressure monitoring while starting"
Engine turns over fine, I can hear the secondary fuel pump running and I have a little puddle of fuel on the drive under the engine. Diagnostics says engine Mobilised but it won't start. Can anyone point me to where to look next please?
Diagnostics also shows pressure on high pressure rail while cranking.

Cheers

Puddle of fuel on the drive

That's not right, need to locate the source, could be leak off pipes on the injectors.

@Datatek It's just a little bit and yes probably the leak off pipes, it's done it before but never stopped it starting. At least it shows there's fuel getting to the front.

Sticky fuel pressure regulator by the rail, seal goes or something

I'll start taking bits off tomorrow and see what I find. Got the battery on charge again now.

Made a start today, a bit damp around the HP fuel pump so I now need to get a high pressure fuel pump removal tool and a seal kit.

Only 2 13 mm nuts and slide plenum chamber out makes life lot easier getting at back of the engine to get that cover off.

I look at my avatar and think

@RangeRoller dt I was only saying a couple of days ago how much easier it was with petrol, carbs, plugs and points.

All older vehicles were much easier to work on than the present ones and pretty fool proof if maintained. These days it is not unusual to pay two hours labour to change a side flasher repeater. It really has gone daft.

Like the new mini, front end off to change side light bulb (apparently)

Some of the Honda's are like that, front end removal to replace a headlight bulb. Design gone crazy.

I sat in the mot room years ago alongside a woman with Lexus IS250, we both had indicator bulb out.
She was pleased to hear my bulb cost 35p and the guy fitted it there for nothing.
When I came out with certificate she was playing hell - £125 + fitting for whole cluster Can’t change bulbs by design

My old MK V Cortina broke down once in wales when the points failed, I walked into a petrol station and asked if they had any points for a Mk V Cortina and he he said " points of oil, points of water?"

Managed to fire it up with the brake cleaner in the intake trick. Time to start stipping it down a bit more.
