    Lopey Idle

    remove your plugs and check one of them hasnt been steam cleaned incase you have a bhg. also pressure test the cylinders. perhaps where you have leaking cam covers you could have a lot of oil in the plug wells. This would cause a miss fire aswell and keep a weekly check on fluid levels to...

    Code 14, starts and dies

    theres a fuel pump mod you could try, something to do with 9 volt and 12 volt switching or something but you would need to search for the relevant threads. also if you still have the stock alarm dissconect it completely as i had a simmilar fault and it was dirty relays inside the alarm unit
