do the paper clip test mate to find out whats wrong.... or just disconnect the battery for so long to reset it(i think) so it goes off

most probably the air intake valve or idle control, it got an aftermarket air filter?

well i'd be almost happy for that! great excuse to get rid
there are no symptoms really, every thing is as normal as far as i can tell.
reseting the ecu did not work

i've got a 16 pin connector.. the problem is that in that connector, pin number 6 is empty.. there are pins in 3 4 5 and 7 iirc, 1 6 8 are empty..

Probably just a sensor gone.
My EML comes on occasionally but doesn't seem to be causing any problems.

Does not look like you can paperclip it , you will need a correct reader tech 1 or 2 or sykes etc, think you will have to take it in somewhere, top buzz is lots of help but does not cover everything, can you find out what ecu is fitted.

cant do the paperclip test on the 1.0 12v or 1.2 16v.
most likely sensors to break on these engines are the Air Flow Meter (AFM) and the Idle Control Valve (ICV)
