Car down on power after injector work?
After the injector seal replacement work on my 50K Fiesta 1.4 TDci, the car lacks power.
When idle everything seems OK, no problem with starting either but when I hit the throttle hard to overtake almost nothing happens, there is no acceleration like before?
Also, no smoke, no smell of diesel, no strange noises from the engine all looks absolutely normal, except that the car is now very slow.

Well if you are sure that you torqued the injectors correctly and the pipes are all secure,then you may need to re code the injectors. Other than that you may want to carry out a diagnostic check as that should highlight the problem by fault code.
