i try and do a ecu reset but, firstly the engine check light doesnt go out when two wires are connected, and throttle depressed, then when i start the engine go for a drive the check light flashes after about 5 seconds.
no codes are showing

 

Disconnect battery for an hour at most m8 that should reset it no prob , the light will only flash codes when car is not running with the ignition on , it will flash of I drive it with the 2 black wires connected , they should be disconnected when driving

 

Ye thats what I did. No change

 

Don't you connect black and green for reset?

 

Yep

 

Sure you are doing the right procedure?
Ign off
Connect green and blacks
Ign on
Throttle down then half way

So you have any codes stored?

 

Yep doing it ask described on scoobypedia. No codes stored

 

Do you need to reset if you have no codes?

Is it a constant flash with no gaps?
Is the engine up to temp?

 

Well I fitted a new maf icv plugs tps sensors. Temp is correct and check light flashes normal

 

The first time you did the reset was the engine warm or cold?

 

Cold. Didnt realise it had to be upto temp

 

Ok that's ok, I normally do it from cold, then a few mins driving and the all clear comes up.
So what your saying is you connect the greens and blacks, carry out reset procedure and after start up the CEL flashes consistently ?

 

Yes, it flashes after about 5 seconds of driving tho

 

Is that not an all clear then??

 

as far as im aware if you get a constant flashing after around 5 seconds of driving , then that means no faults are present. job done .

 

Oh rite, I thought it took a few minutes drive for the reset. Cheers
