1517 is coded anti start function, IMRC input error (bank 2).

1280 is injection control pressure out of range (too low).

I guess your problem is possibly down to immobiliser.

No he doesn't.
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
