I'm pretty sure Code 1-2 is a self-check for the ECM and it indicates that it's O.K. I think it only comes up when the diagnostic terminals are jumpered together. If you don't see any other codes after getting 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, then you have no codes set. ------------------

Well folks I went back to basics removed everything plugs out etc.
Refitted everything and she started !!! All gears engaged, most lights worked.. gauges worked in a fashion... no check engine light. Ill swear even the air con was blowing cold..... revving high but some parts weren't connected.
But....... switched off to check levels and..... the oil is like a milky cup of coffee and the water is like Guinness......
So much for just a dizzy fault......... now Scrap.....

Well after a day away...... stayed in bed not feeling well.
I thought about possible causes..... no oil in the water and the oil that was in the car was black no water in it.
Now I only ran the car for a few minutes before I switched off and checked the levels and found the mix on the dip stick and the milky coffee in the oil filter and sump.
I did disturb about 4 bolts on the inlet manifold in error when checking fuel pressure..... could I have disturbed something ? Is it worth stripping the top end down and doing gasket renewal ?
Is it a ballache ??

if the bolts in question were manifold bolts and not torqued back to spec, a gasket may have let go....

Is a strip down a mare ? If I'm ordering a top engine set I may aswell do the lot.

Well, a few hours spent stripping the engine down. It would appear that the inlet manifold gasket had gone. But I'm doing the head gaskets and the water pump which I'd already bought.
One stud snapped in the back head and the Y exhaust pipe flange disintegrated. I've noted the manifold has a crack on one of the seams. I can't get any manifolds over in the UK, and getting them shipped from US would be very costly.
Could I ask if these can be re-welded successfully ?
Cheers
