if thats stuck there will not be enough fuel for the pump to pump fuel into the injectors therefor causing poor pressure to the injectors and causing it to go into limp mode and causing the rough idle we're experiencing worth a try lads

Certainly be interested to see if it works.

Mine just doesn't seem to like hard revs, however, if I keep the revs down, the eml stays off, and hasn't come back on since last weekend although I don't want to tempt fate.

Well without trying to tempt fate, the light has now stayed off on mine since I last posted, and I've revved it up to 3000 rpm a couple of times.

I've no doubt that the code is stored in the ecu though, awaiting it's return at some point.
