Omega General Help / Re: Error codes 0170 & 0173

OK fuel filter will be changed on Monday and codes cleared again.
I just checked the top panel of the fuel pump, cleaned it off, cleaned all the contacts with cleaner and checked that there were no leaks at the junction between the flat plate and the metal 90o elbow bends. There was a little surface rust, but I cleaned that off and all looks good.
I'll post again with reports after another thrashing with a new fuel filter. What I need to try to achive now is a code 0420 and/or 0430, but no 0170 or 0173 over a period of a few days.
Once I can do that then I can start thinking about moving the secondary O2 sensors back to behind the main cats and clearing the codes.
Then it is another re-test.
Is there anywhere under the bonnet that I should be looking for fuel / air leaks?
JamesV6CDX and I had the plenum off and he re-sealed my cam-covers for me and replaced the cam-belt, water pump and rollers, whilst I cleaned out the plenum and breather pipes. All rubber seals were replaced and were checked for quality before use. The MAF/Plenum gasket was replaced as were both the big (arms thickness) rubber hose elbows which are jubilee clipped to the front of the throttle body / plenum.
We also changed the plugs (the dealer gave me those 4 point plugs). We changed the HT leads too.
Air filter is less than 500 miles old and the box is perectly sealed. Oil and oil filter less than 1000 miles.
