Engine management light came on and heater plug light flashed. cut out and will not start. started once and no management lights came on but wil not start again. the fault code p0251 did not come up again but the p1000 is still there. filter was replaced in case it was blocked. there was bits of dirt in the filter. before the car cut out completely it did seem to loose power when accelerating a couple of times. what part of the fuel system should be checked next?
Well, let's see... Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) P0251 is defined by SAEJ2012 as "Injection Pump Fuel Metering Control "A" (Cam/Rotor/Injector)"
I think that with that code, ESPECIALLY with an engine that will not start, the OBVIOUS next step would be to properly diagnose the injection pump fuel metering control system.
If that code is no longer there, it can only be a result of somebody clearing the computer memory...Which would be a BAD thing to do unless ALL of the freeze-frame data was recorded first. Clearing codes like that also erases the rest of the information about the fault and when it occured that a diagnosing technician needs to properly diagnose the fault. Oh, It can still be diagnosed, but the time required to do so may be multiplied several times.....It just means the bill will probably be much bigger.
DTC P1000 is only an informational code to let the technician know that there is one or more OBD readiness monitors that have not run and completed since the last time that the codes were cleared. If the codes have been cleared and the engine has not run several complete drive cycles since, that explains that one...

yes there is a know problem with the fuel system. fuel pump breaks down, empty your fuel filter into a bowl and check for metalic, if you have this in the filter your pump is F..... along with all the other common rail stuff. expensive job... error codes though, i find that hard to believe, fuel pressure faults will occur, i think you garage does not know what to do. or does not want to tell you the cost of the job and he will be in doubt himself of wether he is right..... was you engine coil light flashing at any point.!!!
SOURCE: Check engine light intermittently flashing, car jerking.
Could be fuel or electrical related. Since you may not know the history, this may take a while.
Any amount of smoke from exhaust? White, Blue, Black?
Start with most obvious and inexpensive:
1. Fuel filer clogged (replace fuel filter).
2. Could be the ECM (Electronic Control Module). It controls the ignition spark timing.
A few other things... consider other expert solutions...

if the engine light is flashing, it means you have a misfire in one or more cylinders. it is most likely plugs or coil wires.
mine started doing this a few weeks ago. finally got around to changing the plugs today. the cylinder order on fords is easy, passenger side from front to back is 1234, driver side front to back is 5678. my number 4 cylinder had a plug that was collapsed. the metal piece was crushed into the contact, not allowing any spark.
