Hippo, Rem code 56? doh.......
Well, heres how I left the last thread:-
"Turns out that the positive cable from the battery that connects onto the top of the starter was pretty corroded, not making a good connection.
Tried to take the cable off, but its stuck solid! The nut, post and cable ends are corroded together.
Looks like the post might move 'with' the nut when trying to undo it which will damage things inside.
Gonna take off the solenoid end cover to gain access to this post from the inside and get a 'grip' of it, while trying to loosen the nut outside after plenty of WD40 tomorrow.
I've tightened this up for now, and oviously with movement and retightening, its made the connection better. Started an stopped over a dozen times and more, and guess what? NO TROUBLE CODES! or engine warning light flashing, ALL normal. "

Anyway, tomorrow never came! I thought that it might be best left alone, incase something got broke with the starter side of things. Not broke, don't break it.
On my way home from work tonight, The engine light came on and stayed on. Rode the rest of the way home, turned the ign. off as usual.
Tried starting it again, difficult but it did. (cam sensor?).......
Later.......
Turned ign. on , pressed run and it lit up for energising etc, 4 seconds or so then off.....................then back on, staying on. 'Current trouble code'
Retrieved the codes with ign. came out with 56 and 42 'cam pos sensor' this time.
I've taken this out (cam sensor) to see if it was full of gunk or damaged in any way, no
Sprayed more wd40 onto the starter post, and it seemed to start ok????
Would this post's bad connection be giving me these codes or am I looking at the wrong thing? and its starting ok again by a fluke?
is something else starting to go wrong?
