ecu reset required?
if anyone can shed some light on this plz do as its scaring the crap out of me,
my girlfriend just got in from driving my 95 import and she says that when she left for home the car travelled about 20 yards then all of the sudden the power steering went solid and the 4 red warning lights all appeared together oil,battery and check engine,so she switched off restarted then all was fine.
this is the second time its done this in a matter of months,plus a coupple of
weeks ago i done the fault test on the ecu my results were 11,13,21,24,31,45
ive heard that a reset can possibly remove most of these fingers crossed so any help would be much appreciated.

the usual for that many codes is they are all old.. reset and you may get one or two and help diagnose the problem.. or if you still get all of them.. then it is mostlikely an engine / ecu earthing problem..
