   Hi people thought I would start a new tread regarding my dead saxo as the last one was getting abit hard to follow.
   So the problem started when I was driving down this dark road full of potholes and I hit one and the car just died and rolled to a stop. I checked the fuel cut off switch and all engine earths thinking that might be the issue but they wasn't. I got got it home and decided to order a diagnostics cable from china which took fooking ages but finally arrived yesterday. so put it on the diagnostics and this was the result.
   
   so what could this be?

   no one got any idea what this is i've stripped down the intake mani and gonna send the injectors off to get them cleaned by injectortune. but doubt this will resolve the situation do you think the coilpack might be to blame?

   yeah just thought it might be where its not igniting the fuel and has given this code. so you think getting the injectors done will help this issue

   Injectors faulty?
   
   OR the most likely. Wiring. so you should:
   
   Check for voltage at the fuel injector connector. It should have 10 volts or more.

    I reckon injector wiring fella as there prone to breaking inside and driving over potholes wouldn't help.
    
    Check the wiring thoroughly first fella

    Can you not test it for continuity and ohms with a meter?
