right then lads, car drove back under its own steam,expecting it to arrive on lorry thanks mr aa man,his report, engine cut out, would not restart, seemed as if engine was flooded engine would run with fuel pump fuse removed, removed spark plugs dryed, cleaned, refitted. started engine for 5-10 seconds then started serging found idel speed control valve sticking, removed cleaned sprayed with wd 40, refitted started engine after idle speed valve reprogramed with car,engine ran ok,switch off and restart, engine now running ok reving and ideling. thats it word for word,,ive put the flashcode reader (cheers jod) on it and the code read is 4 1 1 engine management light is on by the way, cam.

A TP Sensor may be a few things, rather like a excess crank code a TP may be down to a lot of Welllie when cranking....
It may also be a faulty senor tho in light of other issues i think this needs to be taken with a pinch of salt...
With the sudden burst of codes i am thinking you may have a earth issue, i know little about electrics but i would suggest a resistance check from battery to engine..
Have you removed the ECM at any time,?

i took the silver box,you know the one under the plastic cover on the left hand side is it the ecu? but that was after the managment issues,to recap it started out with code 1 2 3,problems break down, now its 411, the trouble now is reliability,dare i use the car for fear of breaking down,wifes working christmas day and shes now going to have to use the van,but at some point the car would have to be used,perhaps the aa man has sorted it, does anyone know of a way like leaving the car run for an hour to see what happens or should it be done under driving conditions,sorry to bug you all but im at a loss,cam.

Yes thats the ECM, or one of them at least...pull it out again and make sure all the pins are clean and not bent....
