That will have cleared them. If you still have codes then you still have faults.

It's very rare to have a faulty PCM. But can happen. Any chance it got wet? You may have to remove it and examine it.

I kinda figured that their are still faults but I can not figure out what it could possibly be. Any ideas?

And yes I took it apart and it is coated in wax so yes it is completely dry.

So back to the list of things posted before. Bad sensor(s), wiring, connector(s), air leaks, etc. Any new codes, especially engine codes, probably mean something about the recent work done has caused them. If you don't know how to cope, find a tech who does.

From your long codes list you're in a unique category on here so be realistic as to the chances anyone can solve the problems via a keyboard.

I'm not sure I came across as being sorry about the situation but I am. At the same time I'm struggling to see any way forward other than "hand to hand combat" with the car: checking readings, that wires etc are good and so on. Sheer hard work

I know it has been a while since I wrote but I just finally came up with the money to bring it to someone else and get it checked. Thanks to the guys here at Portland Transmission (290 Smith Street Providence, RI 02908) they found that it wasn't anything mechanical, it was infact a wire that was shorting out. I unfortunately forget to ask which wire it was because of my hapiness that it was fixed but I will find out and let everyone know what it was exactly. I'm happy that this problem is solved but now I have another issue which isn't as bad as this one but I will start a new feed about it so im not discussing two topics in one feed.

Thanks for all the help in this feed and you guys were completely right, just needed to be seen by someone with the right equipment to diagnose it.

Yes, thanks for the update and it seems that the advice was correct, a hands on diagnosis was the only way to track this fault down.
