If you are interested, just bring the notepad around and I'll do all the technical stuff while you sit and drink beer .. :)

Seriously, it's there if you want it and it shouldn't take more than an hour to get it all working and show you how to use it.

 ;) ;) ;)

possible solution for you to take a look for me

My work out of the kindness of their hearts have given me this Sunday off and the wife is off to london to spend all my money no wonder I cant afford a reader  ;D

Do you have any time available then so I can come to you be warned though my directional skills are on a parr with my mechanical skills  ;D

I think it might be better if you can spare the time for you to use your reader as it may give us some clues to what the problem is.

I will be available on Sunday from 9am to about 3 pm

let me know

Have checked my social diary (SWTSMBO) and we are around all day next Sunday. If you want to bring the notebook over we can see if the ELM327 will work as well as plugging my reader in.. if it does work you can take it away  :)

I'll PM you directions .. but first you have to make a decision  .......

Which way would you use to get to Wootton Bassett ... are you an A361/A419/M4 person or a "backroads" Blunsdon/Purton person ???    :) :) :) :) :)

Read...  awaiting SWTSMBO to return from shopping .. just to find out what arrangements she has made for my life .. :)  Will PM ASAP.. :)

Probably do-able ...should take less than an hour to sort .. 10 minutes with my reader, then maybe 30 minutes to try the notebook/ELM327 stuff .. it'll either work or it won't !!!!

Should have the answer within 30 minutes :)

EDIT :) :)  :)   (love that button!!)

PM'd you details but I'll be with you around 12:15 .. we've got friends round for dinner in the evening so she's going to be working magic in the kitchen, so I'm banned as, apparently, I just get in the way ... :)  (it's taken me years of practice to reach that level of annoyance .. :)  :)  :) )

Another PM winging its way to you Im up bright and early !!!

Not really at work yet again  >:(

If I am able to understand how you use and reset with your decoder I think my plan will be to get one of those as you said originally then it can live in the boot until its needed again  :)

Looking forward to meeting you today

Right .. met up with Paul and did a few things .. firstly got the ELM327 USB thingy to talk to his notebook eventually, used it to read and clear the codes 0170, 0173 - Fuel trim malfunction on both banks. As soon as the codes were cleared it misfired badly. Switched off, restarted, ran nicely with no codes.

Plugged in my MS500, this showed 4 "pending" codes - which the ELM327 doesn't do - 0300, 0301, 0302, 0305 - all misfire codes but no misfire present at that time. Cleared them away, system clean.

Took 3 lots of limited live data Idle, 2000 rpm, 4000 rpm results here (may take more than 1 post I guess) :

Idle

Fuelsys1           CL
Fuelsys2           CL
LoadPCT(%)      2.0
ETC                  83
SHRTFT1%       -1.6 to 0.8  (total range about 1 second steps)
LONGFT1           3.1
SHRTFT2          -2.3 to 0.8  (1 sec steps)
LONGFT2           3.1
RPM                  668
VSS                      0
ADV                  -2 to 0 (1 sec steps)
IAT                   24
MAF                 2.25 to 2.50 (1 sec steps)
TP%                0.8
O2B1S1           0.075 to 0.710   (1/2 sec steps)
SHRTFTB1S1    1.6 to 3.9          (1/2 sec steps)
O2B1S2           0.720 to 0.745    (1/2 sec steps)
O2B2S1           0.110 to 0.640     (1/2 sec steps)
SHRTFTB2S1    -1.6 to 3.1          (1/2 sec steps)
O2B2S2           0.680 to 0.710     (1/2 sec steps)

The only thing that struck me was the differences in B1 / B2 of the last 6 readings  ??

Other readings to follow
