Hi people

I have a 2.2Sri Veccy 52 plate, had it 3 months after a nightmare with a 1.8 landrover, headgasket twice, another story,

All has been fine except for an intermittant power steering light, but no loss of power so suspect sensor/connector somewhere.

A week ago the weather was getting a bit cooler, round 2deg, made a 1mile journey from nearly cold, stopped to pick lad up and as pulled away in 1st the engine lost power with what seemed to be a backfire, but without the backfire.. just the preassure.

After getting a parking ticket as a result, got it home and made the usual checks, fuels ok, preassure at rail, sparks good and strong, plugs fine and in good condition. injectors i thought as couldnt smell much from the cylanders, so checked, 12v at all of them, couldnt measure switched neg, but then also thought all 4 wouldnt go at same time notsure.gif notsure.gif

time to consult the codes, this is what came back apart from the steering warning and an imobiliser warning i knew about because of a dodgy key some time back after throwing it at the missus.

P1613
U2103

P1613 i understand to be a comms fault with the Dash Interface Module?? not sure what or where it is, took some wild guesses
u2103 i understand to be a network code showing the CAN problem

Tried resetting all the codes to no avail.

Can anybody help please, i suspect this lack of comms to the DIM is whats making the injectors not fire, ive checked connections on the module at the front of the engine, 2 connectors, the one the injectors/air flow.... are connected to, has anybody had a similar problem?

A big pre-emptive Thanks

Martin

ps, my missus, the 1 i threw my keys at has just said i should say theres a crate of beers in it for anyone who can come at me with a solution, so here it is, theres some beers in it for ya cheers..
