Doesnt work on x12xe ..... my problem with your symtoms was the o2 sensor mate, make sure you get a proper vauxhall one and not universal as i have a universal and it worked but because vauxhalls are very sesnitve most need GM parts :) hope that helps.

Strange that i have fault read my other halfs fault codes when she had air mass meter trouble......

ok griggsy just told me it is lol!!!!!!

It does work on the x12xe. If you ECU detects a fault it will store it until the ecu is cleared (hence disconnecting the battery which does this)

Only catch is, the ecu light has to be on for more than 5 seconds to store a fault.

yup!!! i was told that it only works on present codes [mine is intermitant] and that it does not work on the 1.2 16v.......:boggle: i dunno.... to cap it all off my rad just started leaking...... happy!!!!!!

It should work its listed - are you sure your bridging the right ports on the diag?

nope was meant to be getting it plugged in but was let down and paper clip test doesnot work.

Deconnect the battery and reset the ecu.

leave it off for around 15 mins then reconnect then see what happens.

When you changed the air mass meter did you actually read the fault codes off?

for a while been having problems with it.....when i got it it was quite nippy (for a 1.2 16v). any way now it is majourly holding back and the engine managment light would come on then go off when i let off the throtle.

i have changed the mass airflow metre the management light does not come on now but it still holds back really badly. could it be the lambda sensor?????

also it does not idle propery on cold start......:look:

any ideas?????
