By the time it was warm enough to spend some time at the hangar, it was April. I’d lost a little bit of hope with the plane, so I wasn’t that bothered about flying it until it was fixed.

Anyway, we set about trying to figure out what the heck was going wrong. We swapped fuel sensors (you can see pressure sensors here), we swapped injectors, we swapped all kinds of different things, and nothing changed the problem. It didn’t move; it just stayed the same the entire time, and we just couldn’t get the thing to work. It was almost impossible to diagnose. The best bit was that there were no engine lights on the FADEC system whatsoever, so there was no clue as to what the error might be.
