200 might be sick again, Update

Cheers guys

I now have a few things to check on the way home

I will be concentrating on the knock, OX and inlet temp sensors. the knock sensor connectors look ok and the sensors themselves look well rusted onto the block, so i would guess that they have been there for a while. maybe one or both has gone up the spout with age.

one last question though. 
Will I get a temporary code for 'sustained knock', OXS out of range or out of spec inlet air temp if I pull codes before shutting down or do some or all of these data not get stored at all? 

i dont think that the IC is blocked, but I'll re-check at some point soon.
i removed the 'silencer' between the turbo and IC and it appeared to have all of its original foam still in place. this would be the 'usual suspect' for the source of an IC block would it not?
the car idles ok and gets 1.7 bar of boost quite often and once hit 2.0bar when i was driving by myself
so the throttle switch must be ok.....

It looks like we will be returning to Montreal via NY state, so i wont be waving from the Hamilton Skyway, sorry 'bout that Steve.

Thanks again for the help and i will keep you posted as to what it turns out to be.
