I think that I'm becoming a pain, I'm after a man in the walsall westmidland area with the correct diagnostic tools to read my engine sensors ETC,
the fault has to be a sensor (i hope) just need help finding out which one.
See my other posts for details, if you could email me details i would be very thank full.

Fault.
Just rebuilt top end of engine new head gaskets etc, all new parts fitted including ht leads and plugs. well now when cold all seems fine nice tic over and revs ok, when it gets to working temp it starts misfiring but still tics over ok? will no rev above 1500. the only bit i missed was that i forgot to connect the alternator when i started it and got some strange faults including gearbox fault (all now gone since connecting and having a little drive)

To check engine codes and live data, I've got one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Launch-Creader-VI-6-OBD2-Fault-Code-Reader-Scanner-Auto-Diagnostic-DIY-Tool/181882872565?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140122125356%26meid%3D747e216b1a624386bd2226ab2faa8889%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D3%26sd%3D221654982685 Obviously it doesn't do as much as the Nanocom which can connect to all the other P38 systems, but it will do the engine stuff on a P38 and virtually every other car too. I bought it to replace an old U581 code reader (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/U581-CAN-OBD2-Car-Diagnostic-Scanner-EOBD-Scan-Tool-Engine-Fault-Code-Reader-UK-/162113010395?hash=item25beb03adb:g:ywYAAOSwGIRXamcW) as it can also do Japanese OBD and my daughter has a Jap import Toyota MRS Roadster but have since found that being able to look at live data as a graph makes it far easier than just looking at numbers. The live data will show you the sort of things you need to know, fuel temp, air temp, air flow, etc. It will also show you fault codes and allow you to clear them too. About the only thing it can't do is reset the adaptive values.
