Thanks for that Brett, I'd been thinking about that. And as I've replaced my plugs 4 times in 20,000km haha, it's possible they have some damage ;)

And that's true, but it was running poo then anyway and as you know I was being a sook and needed to get going! (Didn't want your dinner to get cold either haha)

I guess the question is: which sensor will affect the timing as such an not set off a DTC?

How clean is the air filter?
Did you clean the plenum when there?
Are you sure you got all lines connected and in the right spot?
Did you lubricate the O-rings when fitting them?
Got a friend with a scan tool?
How olds the fuel filter?

Fuel filter is 3 weeks old, even with the top of the airbox up itll do it. Yep lubed the rings before i reasembled it all. All the lines are in the right spot
