We seem to have a CIS problem.
It's had a new pump and filter.
I bought a quality gauge and have made some adapators to check pressures.
From the pump direct to the CIS is 5.8 Bar 85 Psi. I think this is ok ?
Checking on a feed to the injectors its 2.1 Bar 31 Psi. I think the injectors open at 40 something Psi so this is low I think ?
Where do I look next?
I know there is a pressure adjusting valve.
And some valves I don’t understand their use, like the Warm up Compensator and the Pressure Damper ?
This is a UK version and I think won’t have some of the features of the other versions.
Any help appreciated please.
Thanks

Test the fuel pressure somehow at the pipe that goes to the cold start valve , with the fuel pump on , and you have at least 70 psi , push on the air flow plate , you should heat the injectors whistling . If so dont over do it so you dont hydrolock the engine . Remember on cis , if you loosen the injectors pipes , you wont have fuel coming out .
