Cheers Steve

Many thanks Steve. If I can't otherwise get some progress on Monday, I'll make contact - I really do have to get some hands on experience playing with the Evo.
Cheers Gavin

Well, I called in at Rok_Dr's this afternoon and was shown how to check faults. Guess what, cleared all 4 and not one of them came back with the next 3 engine starts. I know at least some will eventually return, but hopefully not for a while.
Many thanks Steve - I will pass forward x 3 when the opportunity arises.

My pleasure Gavin, I'm glad that I was able to help.

Cheers

Steve

Reminds me of a joke....
A software engineer, a hardware engineer and a department manager were on their way to a meeting in Switzerland. They were driving down a steep mountain road when suddenly the brakes on their car failed. The car careened almost out of control down the road, bouncing off the crash barriers, until it miraculously ground to a halt scraping along the mountainside.
The car's occupants, shaken but unhurt, now had a problem: they were stuck halfway down a mountain in a car with no brakes. What were they to do?
"I know," said the department manager, "Let's have a meeting, propose a Vision, formulate a Mission Statement, define some Goals and by a process of Continuous Improvement find a solution to the Critical Problems, and we can be on our way."


"No, no," said the hardware engineer, "That will take far too long, and besides, that method has never worked before. I've got my Swiss Army knife with me, and in no time at all I can strip down the car's braking system, isolate the fault, fix it and we can be on our way."


"Well," said the software engineer, "Before we do anything, I think we should take the car back up the road and see if it happens again."

So, clearing the fault condition is ok, but to try and figure out what happened, what was the fault reading? Sensor or SVS fault? If SVS fault was read and it's not back after a couple of restarts, check the wires going into the modulator connector in the engine block and push them all in hard into the block.
