Still arsing about gathering parts to try but I would just like to add:
Kangeroo'd again today once it got up to temperature. Very violently like I'm jumping on and off throttle.
But as soon as I put foot to floor it stopped.
This is very intermittant in nature - must have been a week ago it last happened.
Runs ok on wide open throttle - what does that tell anyone?? (That I should drive like a maniac everywhere?)

Well, the other week when it cut out again the ECU light came on just before it died so when I got it back home I did a fault code check and got #33, which is the afm. So I swapped that with my spare one and so far no cutting out but the old gal is still slow to start when warm and jumpy.

2 bits of wire! See here: http://forum.405mi16.com/index.php?showtopic=969&hl=#Simran wrote:This is probably a silly question as i think it has been covered before on here, but what did you use to do the fault code check and how much are they/where can i buy one? Sounds like it would be very useful to me right now.

just put pin2 of the diagnostic connector to "Ground (minus)" when ignition is "ON" but no started engine... this for 2 seconds then remove "Ground" that will start test procedure.
Then see the blinks and count and again "ground" until u get the "end sequence blinks"
then check for errror code in table for the mistake if any.

Can't remember really butI recall that a few years ago I bought a new one and it's resistances matched the one on there so I took it back lol. Naughty. But actually the connector isn't that great any more, could do with replacing it really. Might buy a new connector.thanuttiscotsman wrote:hey kris,

if youve had water ingress at some point in the past, it may be worth swapping it for a different one, it may be dry no but could have an intermitant fault thats being caused by the previous damage!?!?!
