Nice! How's it feel now.

Can only imagine your smile the first time you gave it some herbs :-D

What happened with the alternator issue that you mentioned to me? False alarm?

Exhuast vvt sensor, bank 1

When the 5v system shorts out it shuts the ecu down basically

5v sensor was shorting, stopping the ecu from running

So was the pedal controlling the throttle before you found the errors with the wiring?

Eric, your a trooper mate! I'd be looking for matches by now :@

Keep at it you've clearly got heaps of people and support behind you :-)

Eric
we worked through the night and figured out the immobiliser. we also found some faulty connectors and fixed those.

The question that needs to be asked is, If what you found wrong as mentioned above is likely to give the same result as you have currently have now, on an engine that you would assume to start and run normally? If the answer is yes then you need to try another matched ecu.
I know this was done earlier but this was before you found these new faults/errors.

During my usual work I always carry a spare ecu with VATs disabled for times when I suspect a possible faulty ecu.

Having no Can tells me the ecu is not running.
