Thanks for the info guys........but now i have the problem of
CODE42 IDLE SWITCH
CODE45 PRESSURE EXCHANGE SOLENOID VALVE
CODE22 KNOCK SENSOR
CODE24 IDLE AIR CONTROL SOLENOID
CODE31 THROTTLE SENSOR
these are the order in which the cel gave them to me.
will i need to reset the ecu now,because the ecu may be remembering them from past?and been fixed?
when i went to the car before and started it,there was no light,and as mentioned the car is behaving perfectly when driving.Its just that the cel light came on for intermittently on my last journey(5 miles),never done this before.
anyway,reset?and go from there? cheers
or wallet time?

I would re-set the ECU and monitor it for a while. The ECU will store old faults.
