Firstly reset the ecu and see which code reoccur.
Is rad fan when engine cold?
If so the coolant temp sensor def failed or not plugged in etc

ideal, i have reset the ecu once and the engine light has gone off, but the same three faults are still there, the temp sensor is pluged in, if the sensor is faulty will it cause it to missfire? also would the other two faults b related?
thanks mark
