Hi people,
I finally got around to scanning the computer with a scan tool.
I'll post photos and you can see what I found.
There were faults with engine running, and some with engine not running. But I haven't kept all those photos. But I do have live data photos, as in with the car running and screen shots.
Photos posted so far are just error codes logged.

Now are any of these to be there at all normally?
Or should there be none.

Pete

No, none of them should be there, seems like you have all of the problems. The only code that should appear by default is 12 (nothing wrong).

Clear the codes by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and see if they reappear after you start it. Since there seem to be a lot of voltage and signal codes I'd start first by looking at the engine loom to see if it has freyed through somewhere, also check all your earths are attached properly.

Do you have any warning lights on the dash (other than the engine light)? You may have an alternator (or voltage regulator) problem.

Also, code 12 doesn't mean that there isn't a problem. It means that the engine is not running.

Lean under load is probably a fault with the 02 sensor. Pop in new ones that should correct it unless its the cable issue that a VS Dores seem to have.

TCC fault is probably an issue with the valve body. The TCC solenoid rarely plays up.

The crank sensor code could be an intermittent fault. Crank sensors can go for months and only play up from time to time.

Hey,
I've just disconnected the positive battery lead for a good few minutes, just connecting it now.
Will go check to see codes again shortly if my friend is home.
I've had a look at the Earth's bolt beside battery, all look good and it is tight.

Haven't adjusted sensor(s) yet, or looked at them.

Good evening, I change over to new oxygen sensors today, reset the ECU by disconnecting battery positive while I changed the oxy sensors.
Had the scan tool connected after this, and still have error codes coming up..
I'll have to put up photo shortly.

These are the flight record with car idling photos.
Using the data on the screen, I tried to set the tps to different locations.
When set to hard left it was at 0.4volts and about 800 to 900 rpms and 0 degrees angle. When set to hard right, it was at 0.6volts and about 1150 rpms, about 2.0 degrees angle.
(If this means any thing at all)

Cheers
Pete
