Fuses checked and I disconnected the battery for for a couple of hours to see if that would force a reset.
I will have a go with the fuel filter today to see if any fuel is getting there, but will leave the rest for an expert when my mate visits. Thanks heaps for the suggestions 
How old is it? D40 i assume?
D22. ZD30 engine.
Thats why, 2006 onwards were obd2 compliant.
Let me see if i can get it to flash fault codes on the dashboard gimme 5
Only took me 19 months to find itā¦ 
I wrote my last check in August of 2022. I have been doing everything online since I lost the checkbook.

I take one computer over to a friends house to help me fix a problem I have not been able to resolve and I come home to find that the parents had caused another computer to have problems. I was not gone for more than three hours! 
Time for a random smiley.

Happy Easter to meā¦
Power just went out about ten minutes ago and SoCal Edisonās advice is to go online and check for information. If I could get online that would mean I have power for the computer and I would not need to go to their site to check for service outages repair estimations !!
Even though I can get to their site using this phone I do not remember my login password so I canāt get any service information for my area anyway.

Edit:
Apparently this power outage is a dream. 
According to SoCal Edisonās website there is no current power outage in my service area and none are scheduled any time soon.
The power just came back on but I will give it another 30 minutes before powering up any electronics that got powered down when it went off. It seems that the power almost always goes down one or two times after it comes back on before things finally settle down.

Black outs and Brown outs are a common occurrence around here (rural, Single Wire Earth Return). Common enough that all our neighbours have a back-up generator.
Me. it is times like this that I am glad off the grid, even if it means we have to keep a close eye on how much power we are using. And, because I only need to run the generator if the battery voltage drops below 48V, means I have run it less than the neighbours have had to run theirsā¦
I feel for you in that. Like Harry, the power where I am is so unreliable (usually from trees falling on the lines here), that I have a generator that gets frequently exercised.
But I had something so similar just recently: our telephone company has been upgrading its towers in my locality and itās going so well that nobody has phone reception in about a 20km radius. This was meant to be completed two weeks ago. Now it shows on their website as still faulted, but it previously showed all clear. I guess nobody could phone them to report the fault?
The worst part? The NBN (our wireless ābroadbandā internet connection) kept working flawlessly throughout. It works over literally the exact same network as my mobile phone, just with a different login server once the packets get into the exchangeā¦ 
Donāt get me started on phones. We still donāt have mobile/cell phone coverage here and are reliant on a landline.
However because the telco responsible is phasing out copper landlines, maintenance is basically non existent. We only still have access to it because they must guarantee the ability to contact emergency services by dialing 000 (our version of 911), but the line regularly fails & at least once or twice per year we are left without phone coverage.
Last time it happened, the estimated time to resume service was two weeks. But thatās OK they said because of the guarantee we can send you a satellite phone until it is fixedā¦ You should receive it in two weeks 
That is why we have a 406MHz with GPS emergency beacon as a back up.
I was a teenager when they privatised Telecom. I remember Howard standing up and telling us all this would make services better and cheaper.
Even as a teenager I knew this was a lie (not just because his lips were moving 
), because if competition could produce a cheaper service, why wasnāt it already there?!
And then we did exactly the same thing with the electricity network 
(A moronic feature of privatisation of government services in Australia is we tended to gift the natural monopoly part of the service - e.g. the wires - to one of the newly created companies)
No room for a generator in our backyard and even if there we was room I doubt we could get a permit to install it.
What I did not know until after the power was restored was that our Cable TV and Internet service went down at the same time. The Internet service was down until 4:30 pm and the Cable TV was down until 7:30 pm. Since both services are supplied using the same Coax cable I still have no clue why the Cable TV service was out an additional three hours??

One of these is more than enough to keep your fridge, freezer and lights going until mains power is restored. I have this exact model as my āportableā - easy two person lift into the back of the ātruckā and it will easily run my MIG welder.
I have a larger 7.5KVA Honda for the house and even though that is also portable is about twice as big and a 4 person lift.
I donāt know about your regs, but a reputable electrician should be able to wire up an inlet for you. The main thing for installation approval here is that it must include a switch to isolate the generator circuit from the mains circuit.
After more than ten years of trying to get faster internet, we were finally due to get FTTH yesterday, but apparently the technicians couldnāt get through from the access panel to the socket in our apartment. Iām not sure if they gave it just a lackluster try when they saw that the socket isnāt right next to our front door or if the piping is actually broken like they claimed.
Iām not gonna lie, for how unimportant this is in the grander scheme of things, I was a little worried about how angry this made me.
Gonna need to find some time to borrow a spring and try myself, cause the alternative of drilling a hole next to our front door is gonna be a beaurocratic nightmare as well as requiring me to get a power socket installed in a moronic place.
How long is the cable run? Were they just trying to push the FO cable through or do it properly and get a āspringā or something like that through first and using that to pull the cable?
Itās a gnarly run, probably in excess of 5m with a fair amount of bending (I donāt know exactly how the piping was installed). My guess is that someone probably stepped on the pipe during construction.
I was not present but my gf said they told her that the spring ended up in the wall so probably the piping is broken at some point. They were probably in a hurry since they needed to do the entire house in 2 afternoons.
Iām borowing a spring tomorrow and also a scope/camera so I can have peace of mind that the piping is a nogo before considering the nuclear option. Maybe with a bit of patience I can manage to get through (they didnāt try the other direction which is one of the first things Iād do).
Rats! Tried for 2h, both sides, no joy. From the access panel outside I can hear the spring running along the serrated wall of the pipe for maybe half a metre, then the noise stops and itās simply in the dry wall.
From inside, getting in the pipe is a bit of a dexterity exercise as they didnāt fasten the pipe to the socket, it just ends inside the wall out of reach of my fingers, so I had to freestyle the spring into the pipe at a really awkward angle with the help of a mirror, cause of course you canāt see it through the socket. Apparently the pipe runs the length of the apartment below floor level, then it bends upwards inside the wall. That is as far as I got, tried 2 different springs with different stiffness but always got stuck at the same bend. Since the pipe isnāt fastened to the socket, you also canāt apply a lot of force, as it just starts to bend away.
Iām going to borrow a borescope next week to see what the issue is from the outside, maybe I can wiggle my way past where I end up in the dry wall, but itās looking rather grim. Not a happy camper right now.
By dry wall, do you mean this stuff?
If so, depending on what the borescope shows you, it might be easier to just cut a hole in the wall to get it past the obstruction and then patch, re-plaster and repaint?
Something to consider, yes, even though spot A is in the bathroom where thereās tiles on the dry wall and spot B is in the kitchen where the counter blocks access. Before the kitchen it passes under a door and then through a structural wall. Hard to say exactly where I get stuck.
