Right, take a deep breath and start from the beginning.

Update your personal profile so that it displays the year and model of your car (so we don't keep asking the same questions).

Are you saying that the paperclip test didn't work at all? or that it worked and there were no fault codes?

Right, a quick question...

Does the engine management light come on when you switch the ignition on?

In that case you did the paperclip test wrong. Even if no faults were stored it would still flash 12 and possibly 31. Watch the video and have another go ;) :y
