Was this problem there before replacing battery? if not a loose connection at battery or in battery compartment the code is a temporary code and when connection severs the code is cleared check the time after starting till problem occures and see if there is a pattern to how long it takes
Thanks for the reply...no none of these messages at all before replacing battery. Red Battery light comes on when key is put in ignition but stays on when all the other lights go off. Takes several goes to get it started. just afraid of losing power again while driving. the manual says if the light is red it means it not charging from the alternator, but dont want to fork out for a new alternator that had no problems before if it's possible the problem is just registering the new battery or a code reset?
when the batt light is on while engine is running the alt is not charging there is a power lead from the battery cable to the fuse pannel then to alt if that wire was left off the battery terminal then alt will not get power needed to produce charge check around battery and power cable from battery to see if it was left off or broken also check pwer to alt to see if alt is getting power
Thanks again..He has checked the battery and alternator and i'ts showing 14 volts so confirmed its charging fine...The problem is sporadic though the day..some times the car starts no problem with no messages and then sometimes I'll get the fuel injection message and all warning lights on and no start but will start perfectly then after a couple of tries! The relay switch has also been changed but hasnt seemed to make any difference..Any ideas? No problems like this at all before the oil service and new battery. The main dealer are suggesting new fuel pump then new injectors - and quoting a couple of grand..I find it hard to believe thats the problem as it happened so suddenly after the service with no previous problems
