it would be nice if you would tell us what mods you have, just stating your car has codes does no good.
check spark plugs, spark plug wires....etc at first

like i said... change your spark plugs
i recommend NGK and they sell them at advance auto parts
whether it is set up for premium fuel or not that won't matter
it will take a good 1hr or more of driving and different driving manners for it to set any other codes
I highly recommend changing your spark plugs. again NGK's are at Advance Auto Parts just tell them the make and model of your car and they will look up the model you need, also once you get them ask the guys at advance if they can check each of the gaps on the spark plugs for you ( i think they should be set at .05?? or .055??, can't remember right now)

thanks for all your help i apreciate it. we dont have advanced auto here in iceland but ill be ordering better plugs and wires in the future.
on a side note though ive been driving all day and all last night and it hasnt thrown a code yet. if i were to guess id say that the things that are changed by the computer patch up the alredy worn cables and plugs and give them a few more miles but you are probably right about that they are begining to go bad

culd be. it idles a bit strange but has been getting better.. actualy the car has been getting better since i began to drive it... its newly imported so it hadnt been driven for one month or more so that may have something to do with the idle..at least its just fine now
