Fiesta Injectors Changed, Now Has No Power

Hi All,

I took my car into a garage on Monday because there was a smell of Diesel in the car when stationery. The mechanic changed the seals on the injectors (seemingly a common problem) and the smell is no more.

The problem is that now there is significantly less power in the car. The engine sounds fine, runs fine, revs fine out of gear, but when in gear and driving it just doesn't accelerate half as much as it did before.

Apparently the injectors have been coded/calibrated since being reattached, the turbo is working fine and the filter has been replaced, but all to no avail.

Has anyone had this before and/or have a solution?

Its been at the garage now for 4 days and I'm starting to wonder whether I should take it out and move it into a proper Ford Garage.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Were the injectors put back in the right order?

    If not the timing may be well out.

    If the timing is out, would the engine not sound strange? The engine sounds perfect. Just lacking a lot of power!

    There are no errors on the diagnostics either. Ford mechanic also stumped now...
