Don't know anything of the diag you are using or what it is capable of doing. Although it does state idle switch active, it was inactive in your earlier post of data.

You could try cleaning and tightening up the injection pump to loom plug.
Yea will try that, the inactive was when car was on ignition 2 not running. Just seems like it needs to run a bit as just started it again and was still hunting but but better than it was.
Should the idle be roughly 750 rpm if so can check live data as it idles currently?

If you had Nanocom i could guide you but i know nothing of the Hawkeye. Other than it's nothing like as good as Nanocom.
See if you can find anything that refers to timing modulation on it.

Wish I could afford it mate but bet its worth its moneyIf you had Nanocom i could guide you but i know nothing of the Hawkeye. Other than it's nothing like as good as Nanocom.
.Nah not got timing modulation however ran diagnostics again showed no faults but still the same.
To me seems like either FIP needs to be checked it is timed or must be a dodgey connection.
Is it worth finding a member locally with a nanocom to get timing modulation?
Think ovalandrover is overseas.

Pretty useless diagnostics if it doesn't show something basic like modulation. Did it come with a manual, if so worth checking as it might appear under another name.Wish I could afford it mate but bet its worth its money

As long as they know how to use it yes. I know nothing of the Hawkeye so cannot advise on it's use. Surely the thing should be able to show modulation and set idle, if it can't it's as useful as tits on a Mars bar.

According to the Bearmach site, it reads EDC live data so the modulation should be there somewhere.
Thank you going to go now do a live data run take photos of each reading.

Not having an easy time of it, I admire your persistence in getting the car fixed. There are some pretty useless pieces of diagnostic kit on the market, modulation is basic information on live data.
Thanks mate happy enough where I am now just last little bit then can focus on rest of it
I am probably not reading data correctly so will some research.
Is the modulation shown as a percentage?

It is on Faultmate and Nanocom.
Oh rite ok will wait to hear back from Bearmach stupidly got no use manual only to look up codes.
Is it worth checking the FIP timing?

I wouldn't bother for the moment, I have had them running with the modulation between 6% and 78%.
Ok sorry to be a pain could you explain what timing modulation and the what values represent just so I can learn? Thank you.
