Well im well and truly stuck at the moment!

Just a couple of questions:

1. Am i right in thinking that if there are no faults,the EML will light up and then extinguish while ignition is on?

No it will still flash 12 over and over (I.E. more than 3 times)

~Im talking about with the paperclip OUT.Does the EML light come on everytime you turn on the ignition and then extinguish before turning over the car?

Without the paperclip - yes comes on briefly when started

Ian,

How far are you from Reading? And is the car driveable?

if the eml acts normally with no paperclip, and nothing with the paperclip, there are no stored codes.  Later 2.0l (from around 97) do not flash out if no codes.

Hi mate,

Im in Sutton, so its probably gonna take around an hour or so. A3 onto M25 and round to your way.

Believe it or not the car is running better than ever...cleaned the breathers,ICV,changed sparks and leads.
I dont know if you remember but my problems originally started 2 days after i bought the mig.Engine went into limp mode and maxed out on 4000rmp(EML light on when engine running).
Original fault codes indicated cam and crank sensors.Now have the cam sensor(not yet fitted) but yet to buy crank.
Engine came out of limp mode for some reason and is now running very well.Just thought id try another paperclip today....and doesnt work.Also n eed a new airbag as light on dash is on and centre of steering wheel is soft and spongy.

posted exactly this a couple of months ago. The opinion then was, no codes. 4 pot does not flash 1,2 for diagnostic start, test does not work with engine running. No flashing means no codes. To prove unplug the maf or something safe to unplug, and test again. Should then get a maf code. Hth
