    Customer brought car in asking if I could fit a new MAP sensor because the local dealers had told him it needed one but they wanted 600 quid to do the job! Smelling a large rodent I plugged the Axone on and got:
    Manifold pressure sensor
    Throttle position sensor
    Throttle position sensor
    Ignition control circuit 1
    Emergency gear-throttle electronic command
    These codes will not reset.
    The IAT is also giving a value of -39 deg C
    I'm thinking either it's got a bad earth, corroded loom or the ECU has croaked it.
    Any known ECU problems with this engine? I suspect the answer is yes!
    Any advice welcome.
    Shaun
