You missed the first blink. The codes should be:

12=initiation of diagnosis
57=Idle Speed Control Valve (ISCV) Interruption
145=Incorrect immobiliser signal received Faulty unit or break in wiring
31=Engine RPM signal (crankshaft sensor) No signal

All codes according to:
http://www.topbuzz.co.uk/info/fault_codes/fault_codes.htm#bosch
The rest of the numbers is just a repetition of the above.

Thank you for this info, actually the car was fine, i changed the Crankshaft sensor just 3 days before, some of the bulbs in the In SPEEDO TACHO CLOCKS CONSUL were bad and i changed it and it refuses to start anymore..

I have brought it out and put it back again, but no way.

So with the reading i've got so far, what is the solution, is there a possibility to reset everything to normal or what should i do?..ofcourse cheaper solution.

Thanks

20 or so clean starts with all previous faults now cleared should clear the existing codes, I think....

Also, take a few mins to update your personal profile on here so that we know where you are (nearest biggish town will do) and what car you drive.  Also nice to know if you are male or female.....     ;)

Thanks
i have updated my profile and regarding me starting the car 20times, i have tried several times but no way, it just keep sounding like there is no feul coming in....some say it's the immobilizer.

But shouldn't there be a way to reset everything to it's original position?

Is the EML flashing when you turn the ignition on?

no light is flashing, it just wouldn't start, sounding as if no fuel is coming in....a friend said probably it's the immobilizer but i don't know.

If it was immobiliser, the eml would flash.  The only thing sensorwise that seems to stop a v6 is crank sensor...

could it be my Crankshaft sensor?....

If it refuses to start, what are the possible causes, where i can check?

Did you plug the idle valve back in?

Try starting it with a little throttle....

Thanks

You said you changed the crank sensor 3 days before and this normlay requires removal of the plenum (but can be done without), if the idle valve connector (right side of plenum) was not clicked fully home on re-fitting, it could be the cause.

Hence why I sudgested trying it with a little throttle as this gets round the need for the idle valve when cranking.
