So, now I've got a working car, I had a chance to try the p28 ecu after getting the soldering of the socket checked.
Plugged it in, and what do you know... No engine warning light... Hurrah!
So I think to myself, not only has the issue where the ecu just had a solid light and wouldn't start been fixed, the last time I burned the P72 base map to the chip I must have got to the end of disabling various sensors that don't exist.. Mint.
Took it for a drive, carefully at first, and all seemed fine. Gave it a short burst of beans up to maybe about 6 or so, and still okay.
Turned around to come home, took it up to about 7 - 7.5k, and it red lines... Must just be the map.
A minute or so down the road I stop at some traffic lights, then the Idle drops right down. Start driving again and notice that it's on limp mode with the eml on. This is probably about 5 mins or so if driving.
Get home and try and pull the code, and no flashes - just a solid light.

Lob the P9 back in and all's well.
Anyone got any clue?
