hi ive come accross this problem on the transit. after weeks of trying differnt things and spending loads of doe the problem turned out to the injector leak off pipes, ford originally fitted the return to the pump on to no 1 injetor and and capped of no 4 or the other way round which causes the injector pump pressure to drop to arrond 1.5 bar when it should be arrond 7 bar changeing the leak of pipes round cures this problem hope this helps
