Check for vacuum leaks and check the throttle body if the plate is sticking.

To clear the warnings etc to get the car mobile, we were disconnecting the battery which was not leaving any history!
BUT, too all that helped, after changing the maf sensor, the car running like sh1t for 2 weeks. Disconnected the air supply tube again, cleaned around the butterfly and gave it a little oil as instructed, went to replace the air tube and noted the rubber flange creased, put a little Pet jelly on the flange and slipped it back on and tightened. Car has been going for about 7 days and he is in Bendigo today and not a warning signal of any kind
Would like to thank every one, just be patient when dealing with fools

Just when you thought it was safe to go outside!!!
Whitey, apologies just saw your response, i was hoping this topic was closed, ELM 327 mini
The latest, vehicle has been running well up until yesterday when warning number PO121 appeared (throttle body related) removed air boot to check butterfly, first thing i noticed was clean oil deposit on bottom of unit, cleaned butterfly again and circumference. Reset battery and appears to be running smoothly again with no further warning signs. Would i be right to assume oil is interfering with the diagnosis unit. Checked the electrical connections at same time. Bugs me as i think the answer is simple and inexpensive?

Unit running fine until an oil change, now get a P0522 warning, related to oil pressure after an oil change. Recommended oil is 10/30, garage has put in 10/50 penrite, would that be enough to set off the warning light?

Just a heads up when I service VE's due to Tassi colder climate I use Penrite HPR 5 Full Synthetic Engine Oil 5W-40
