Checked your cam follower?
Without traction power is nothing!

I'm also having this problem intermittently, I've replaced my cam follower and still the same issue.

Yes, the low fuel pressure sensor that screwed into the hpfp can also bring up this fault but visually check your cam follower first.

I have changed this bacillus but fault still reappears? Anything else?

My car now has Autotech internals but I've not done any logs or ran an autoscan since they were fitted.
