clean or remove air filter, place a tin of diesel magic in the fuel tank. get the engine up to temperature and give it a total bootfull up the road flat out 2nd gear for about 2 miles. give it a good clear out.. then retest while hot and it should pass, assuming there are no engine management problems.
