    Thanks for the suggestions. The code reader I had at home the other day at can't do the live readings, hence why only going off the codes.

    Anyway, I've now tried a different (known good) front...

    Thanks all, I agree, unlikely to be timing based on the symptoms, have also read up a little bit on setting up the timing with the 'floating' pulleys, so the painted marks could just be academic.

    Hi

    After some head scratching and some very helpful guidance from Martin (M-R-P), the decision has been made to try a new / known good MAF sensor.

    Can anyone offer any help with deciphering...

    I would expect as much, was more an exercise in diagnostics (haven't got round to sorting my DiCE out yet), at least it comes with a 1 year warranty, apparently.

    Well I now have Vida/Dice, and have read the codes. As predicted, there is no communication possible with the ECM, with code CEM-1A62 (communication with ECM control module signal missing) stored.

    Still waiting to get codes read with VIDA, but in the meantime i've checked a couple of other things.

    It could be to do with the crank sensor, as i've said before, the lack of EML could be a red herring (and to be fair, i've been going down that route so far)
