New here and need help

Hi all, I brought my 2007 Honda Civic 2.2 i CDTI ex two months ago beautiful car I can’t complain... but I made the mistake of spending 1.5 hours figuring out the sat nav and working out how to pair my phone with only the ignition on with drained my battery to beyond dead 💀 so I just spent out on a new battery changed it over and now I have a PGM-FI lights on the trip display!? I’m sure you’ve all answered this question before but thought I’d ask again, if there is anything I can do ???? I’ve disconnected the battery again and started the engine a few times but still no luck... am I going to have to spend £90 to get it’s diagnosed at the Honda garage !?! Thanks in advance for your help

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Didn't need to buy a battery, just needed to either jump start and drive it, or a battery charger for an hour or two.

We don't have diesels over here, I'm not familiar with the lights that you'd have on your cars over there. You mean a check engine light?

Buy a code reader and see what the code is?

Not sure if your cars can use the same readers we have, but many over here have bought a phone app and OBD connector dongle for like US$20 or so (google 'torque app')
