Hi,

Was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the 3rd to 5th issue in reference to short to plus as i cannot find sweet fa on the net about these faults. 18011 was caused by my throttle body, so realigned and all was good.....16486 is just the maf being the maf lol but confused on the others.

I have cleared the faults and nothing has come back yet just want to know what causes the issue?

On another note what causes the MAF to go signal low..dodgy loom ???

Would unplugging the coil packs cause the short errors? i was just thinking its a possibilty as i was testing my packs the other day and only unplugged 3 out of the 4.
