OK so I haven't done much this week as I have had yet another cough and my mum went in to hospital (all ok now)... so yesterday I swapped my modified 48mm allot throttle body for a bog standard 48mm alloy one... and the hunting I've been getting is a LOT better.. slight wowing on and off. The engine still runs what I consider to be lumpy though on tickover despite me raising it to about 800 RPM.
I checked the error codes again and now have:
P0481 Cooling Fan 2 Control Circuit Malfunction
P0655 Engine Hot Lamp Output Control Circuit Malfunction
P1487 EGRCHK Solenoid Circuit Malfunction
The second cooling fan is fine as I don't have air-con, however the Solenoid one is new! I've erased them and will see what comes back. With the engine idling (slight wow up and down between 800 and 900 as far as i can tell)
The live data is now as follows:
So anyone know what's going on maybe? I changed the engine bay air temp sender and it still reads 139 degrees!
I am just about to free up Meg's alternator which is seized, bung some petrol in her and fire her up too... so I'll report back what I find there later!

It's also showing 130 degrees C for the fuel temp! obviously can't be right, even if the scale was fahrenheit it still equates to around 59 degrees C

I can only assume there's something wrong with the wiring?
Something else weird happened earlier that I almost forgot about. Started him up after he was warm and a little cloud of what spelled like burning oil came from the engine compartment, out of the inspection area! Happened just the once and went away away in a second!
His engine does always 'smell' really hot though after being driven.
