Pedal test?

[Jimbob]

can you do the pedal trick for codes?

[richardirv]

been trying, can't remember howto do it

[Jimbob]

Foot on brake, gas pedal to the floor.
Turn on ignition to position II (do not fire the engine in position III)
When dash lights go out the yellow light car symbol with a spanner through it should flash.
4 sets of flashes/numbers pause and so on.
10 flashes is zero.
Constant flashing no codes.

cheers, reads 10 1 1 10

wiggle all the connectors near the airbox?

[VXL V6]

It's a facelift so doesn't have the seperate air temp sensor. Try unplugging the MAF as air temp is calculated from there on the later cars. Should run a default program then.

Not sure why the TC lamp should be lit though.

[Jimbob]

ahhh yes, didnt you have a load of MAF grief around the york meet time?

[richardirv]

tried wiggling a few things and unplugged maf, no change.

[Jimbob]

got breakdown cover?

[Jimbob]

presume your coolant level is ok?

[richardirv]

coolant ok

Shot in the dark but is it worth checking any connectors around the waterpump area?

I was thinking the connector under the DBW throttle and the Knock sensor connector that exits the trunking on the lh side of the engine.

Given the water pump change: might the cam-belt be implicated here? (tension/timing-registration/slipped).....whilst I hope not, it is just a thought.
