Crank angle and camshaft position sensor.

I'm no mechanic, but the fact that they're both out would suggest something mechanical like timing being out or incorrect timing belt tension.

Could just be faulty sensors too I guess.

If the car is driving well - I'd reset the lot but removing the battery overnight... drive around for a couple of days, then check again..

There is already a rev limiter in place as standard in all FTOs. You say you have a separate one fitted ???

What revs does the limiter kick in?

Sounds like its your rev limiter thats at fault. When that cuts the ignition when you hit the limiter the ecu must be picking it up as a fault.
Has it always been like that? Id say check the wiring to make sure its all sound or else loose it all together.

thats what it is, because every time i reset ecu and clear codes its fine until i hit rev limiter and get same codes every time, so now i adjusted to cut in at 8k which is more than enough cheers buddy

Or you could just remove the rev limiter altogether. Unless it's going to function, there's not much point in having it installed. I have an apexi turbo timer (for idling engine for a minute after i turn engine off). I hope it doesn't cause similar problem.

Ah right. I've got bigger issue. Came out to see some dirty nacker had vomited on my spoiler and boot. Must have been a student on a Tuesday night of cheap booze. I'm in the car wash as I type this, getting the bacon knocked off the car.

I will be getting a full respray this month I reckon, so I didn't mind. I couldn't have cleaned it myself, because I would have just added muesli to the bacon and chips. Also, the acid in the puke could have been damaging the paint job anyway.
