Bugga, I'm down the port but if you can't get it scanned I can run a tech2 on it and see what it says if you get stuck.

Where in SA are you?

It's an early engine with the thicker chain, should be ok as long as there was still oil flowing. Get it scanned properly and go from there. They still need fuel, spark and compression to run like any other engine, so get it scanned and systematically sort though the issue(s), no good guessing...

There is no IAC on the alloytech. Check all of your vacuum hoses for leaks, and the purge solenoid for correct operation.

Depends on where you are in Adelaide, but happy to plug in a Tech2 and reset the light for you, but if it's the clock spring it will keep coming back.

Maybe consider another Mechanic....

Hi mate, no promises but I have a tech2 here in Adelaide and if you are close by, I would be fine with running a scan for you, no charge of course!

Above the accelerator pedal, just remove the upper kick panel and you will see it.

Yep

Look at where they joined the gas injector wires to tap into the original injector loom, often they are bare and can short out.

It's alloy with oil contamination, so unless you are proficient in that type of welding, I wouldn't advise it. Mate, just bung in a decent easy-out and unscrew it, problem fixed. Just remember; Righty tighty and Lefty loosey.

That will come out easy with a decent screw extractor unless you broke it off by trying to unscrew it the wrong way? Never seen one that was tight enough to snap off just removing it. You can't just plug it, too much oil pressure for silicone etc.

Well, you don't have to empty it, but it's a bit heavy and cumbersome to drop if its still full. Yes, you need to remove the tank to replace the pump, just get it down around a quarter tank and it's easy to do on your own.

If it's causing issues with other modules, just unplug it to identify if it is what is causing the issues. Should be able to just plug another module in to see as well.
