Engine trouble

I have an 06 TD5 D90 and the car currently drives at half speed/power. I assume there is something wrong with the injectors can anyone direct me to a good area to research on this issue? Thanks

Why?

How about turbo issues?
What about a blocked fuel filter?
How about an issue with the injector pump?
Maybe a collapsed exhaust?
A hamster trapped under the accelerator?

Warning light on? Limp mode?

Sometimes even experienced mechanics forget to check for hamsters

I'd check for fuel issues. TD5s seem to be vulnerable to any loss of fuel pressure or flow. So it's worth having the pump out to check for crud build up on the gauze at the bottom, change the fuel filter, or the little strainers in the pipes where they go onto the unit the fuel filter screws onto, if they're fitted. Have you or anyone near you got a diagnostic device like a Nanocom or Hawkeye? That's the easiest way to have a look for faults, cylinder balance, output from the accelerator potentiometer and so on.

Other things to consider on the TD5 include malfunctioning airflow sensor (near the air filter box). Pull the plug out and see if it makes a difference, as the ECU will revert to a default value. Plus there are sensors on the filter box itself, and on the manifold. Pull the plugs off these and see if it makes a difference, for the same reason.
