If you reset your ecu by leaving the battery unplugged for a few hours it might sort it out as it re maps itself again. I read up about this somewhere before and it worked for me

When you start the car first time leave it to idle it will idle high for a while. Its important you wait untill your idle has settled before you drive it
Once its settled go for a five mile drive and use the rev range.

Hope this helps

Sooted up mate i cleaned them just b4 the retest on my mot the car fired up like usual with the old ones in but it misfired now and then so i may aswell keep em as spares when i ave driven the car for about an hour i will see if the eml comes on agen like it normally does if not then ive finally cured it lol if it does back to the drawing board haha am thinking cud be the o2 sensor is comin to its end but thort id start with the cheapest first
