I'm thinking that the 12.4v was a random reading and it was something trying to find an earth, time to find out where the map sensor gets its 5v supply from.

Could be a damaged pin on the connector to the ECU, they are small and easily bent.

I've got a couple of questions.

Seems the car was down on petrol , is the KV6 manual or auto priming?
Also whats the deal with this petrol reset button behind the center console?

It auto primes, but if its been run out of fuel it takes about 15 litres in the tank to get it up and running.

The fuel cut off behind the console shuts off the supply in a crash.

Fair enough.

I've been reading my haynes manual and it states the crank sensor is located on the front side. I have mine at the back... Have i mad a simple school boy error?

The crank sensor is down the back of the engine, the cam sensor is on the front of the front cylinder bank
