OK the OBD2 connector.

That puts the PCM into diagnostic mode.

this is getting scary
you need to check some wiring diagrams, but sounds like you have missing negative to your ecu
dont keep playing you are likely to burn something out

Good news update.
So turns out you can't use s1 l67 wiring harness with s2 cause the 3 plugs near the brake booster 1 of them have 2 missing wires also the bcm ecu pins are in a different spot so changed the harness why engine was still in the car but of a prick connected all up fired up straight away just thought I'd update incase others run into the same problem cheers guys.
