2.8 crd miss fire

2.8 crd miss fire
have a 2.8 voyager 2005.
It has a constant misfire. I know nothing about common rail diesels but have a good base knowledge of cars.How can i determine which cylinder it is I have tried removing each injector electrical connector 1 at a time and it cuts out completely. i have also tried easing of the injector pipes at injector with engine running but again it cuts out completely.
I replaced all the rockers and hydraulics last year after a cambelt failure and the car has run fine for over 3000 miles? I bought these from a very reputable supplier.
I cant hear no air leaks or strange noises....
If i leave it to tick over it sometimes purges???
Any advice before i strip off the cyclinder head?
Many thanks in advance

at idle the pressure in the fuel rail is about 3500psi. Cracking the fuel lines is a very dangerous thing to do.
You could measure the voltage to each injector while the engine is running and measure the electrical resistance of each injector. If you find a marked difference on one then that should tell you something.
A leak back test would also show a failed injector
Does it sound odd when cranking over?, if you have access to a oscilloscope and current clamp you can measure the relative compression of the cylinders by looking at variations in current draw.

FAULT FOUND AND RESOLVED.
It was a faulty hydraulic tappet, even though i replaced all 16 only as few months ago. so complete strip down again.
Done it in less than a day. Just waiting for the out come from the manufacturer. As to why there was a failure of the tappet.
As for the high pressure's thank you for your advise...
You live and learn.

Miss-fire on 2.8CRD..
Ah Nicksmith,
Another after repairs fault appears. Good thing you mentioned the work that you had done as I was just going to bring it up. You can always depend on the guys on here giving ideas and and possibility of you/someone throwing away money to find fault.
