What do you mean ? .................. is there a DTC or not ?

Is it timed or not ?

Fuel pressure ?

Your Crank signal is awful.

I would expect at least 4v peak to peak.

DC coupled pal, have just seen he has his scope AC coupled but I would still expect maybe more peak to peak what do you think?

Also just seen the post is from 6 May so there is a good chance there is going to be no reply.

I did wonder, I may have seen it the wrong way but I took it as cranking as it's a none start ?

Sorry for late response, to many jobs to little time,
Yes the signals are at start, it's a little complicated, I sold the engine without diesel equipment at all, I just got to proof that my engine is okay and it's he's diesel equipment that's failing,
BTW. I'm newbie with Pico,
