The problem with my engine turned out to be a broken fuel injector and major water leak. Tidy.

Also I have had alot of injector issues on these engines and It wouldnt suprise me if an injector has gone down. Anyway a tech with all the correct diagnostic equipment should pinpoint this down straight away.If i can be of any help let me know.Barry
