Hi. I have a TDCI 130. It shuts off when slowing down. It puts on the glow plug light. Does not store any faults. After a restart it idles okay. Can rev away at it in neutral and you would think there was nothing wrong. It is when it's being driven the problem occurs. Injectors were tested, cam and crank shaft sensors replaced. Fuel system was checked. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Drew
