Thanks for reading folks, today i spent the most part of my day removing the plenum awkwardly to replace plugs and leads, when i put everything back all seemed well untill i started driving for about 3 minuits and the orange engine light came on, i got worried,

the only thing i can think of that might have gone wrong would be nudging a sensor out of the way? i put 6 new general sparks in, was it absolutely a big must-do to put platinums and nothing less in the rear 3? i turned the last corner just a few minuits ago before i jumped online and the car sort of stalled and choked a considerate amount, acting a bit strange, (not as strange and eratic as before the new sparks and leads)

Also i got new top gun leads from repco but my sisters dogs got in the car and chewed on a few, i tested them for resistance and they seem fine, just a tiny bit of teeth marks on the silicone.

would i have done anything wrong at all? any advice would much apreciated

Chewed leads could be arcing on the block or something.

T'was the accelerator sensor!! took it off when pulling the plenum off and all it needed was the battery to be reset so it could adjust itself to its new position, esssellent. hope this helps anyone else!
