[synical]

my friend had the same problem in a VS
it was that bad the starter stayed engauged (new starter new batt but prob still remained)
i had to turn the motor by hand to free the starter, and then it would start.
he has the problem fixed so i will ask him what it was.

the problem was under volt 11.8 (new regulator fitted)to the alternator

Bridge terminals 5&6 on the diagnostic connector, turn ignition on and count the flashes of the warning light. It will start with 12 three times. Fist flash (tens) then a short pause and 2 flashes (units). Then it will move on to any other logged codes, it will repeat each code three times. Remember, first lot of flashes are tens and the second lot are single units. Example: 4 flashes, pause, 2 flashes = 42. When it does code 12 again, it has completed the cycle.

there are 4 terminals on top and 3 on bottom, which are 5&6?

yes it the connection on drivers side in the middle above ya feet, theres is i think bout 16 holes in the connector but only 7 of them have the metal tabs in them in my car, 4 on top & 3 on bottom

yer thats correct count the seperate holes as 1 even if they dont have metal contacts in them u'll find wen u count 5 and 6 across they will have metal contacts

Top row, counting left to right, including the empty ones. If you look really close, I think they are numbered.

23. Air temperature sensor (voltage high)
47. Crank angle reference signal (no signal)
Some may be intermittent faults. Reset your ECU by disconneccting your negative battery terminal for about a minute. Reconnect the battery and run your car for a while and then re-check the codes.

well an update on wats going on. by the looks of it, its a faulty battery. did a battery test by putting the battery in my old mans 4x4 and it wouldnt start. stuck his battery in mine and started like a beauty. so will be getting another battery.

now the funny thing is, my head unit can eject cd's while the keys are out. i've never really noticed that before, so im assuming it may be a bad ground and hence its drawing current. and also, with the oxygen sensors, are they hard to change over?

thanks in advance for helping me out this far along.
