Try lifting the front of the car to take weight off.
have you got another key you can use ?
I'm just thinking aloud maybe the barrel has got stuck.
Try some wd 40 on your key and work it in and out of the barrel....Leave a comment:

What size plug have you got that the headlight plugs into ?

As Howy says complicated.
I think most of the connections have to be made in the UEC

There's loads of thermostats available, it's yet again how much you want to pay .
The likes of Gates and Circoil are 2 that spring to mind.
Smoke tests are only any good if you have a running issues caused by an air leak .
Either vacuum lines or boost hoses or gaskets.

what model insignia are you trying to retro fit them on to .?
if its anything but a model that came with Xenons as standard

The map sensor measures the manifold absolute pressure which is the amount of air entering the inlet manifold.
which can cause erratic idle and poor acceleration.
But you still have the original code and its problem

See that code could relate to what the sensor is actually seeing and thats why the control circuit is reading a higher value than what is plausible.
by the ECM .
Can you get the saturation level up on the thinkdiag tool ?

Right then , re-trace your steps .
is there anything you may of disturbed in doing the oil change?

Number 1 as per RBH
thats why I kept asking.
Number 2 you can clean the MAF Sensor with electrical contact cleaner and a cotton wool bud .
But it would not clear the P2428 code. Thats a different kettle of halibut.

Hello Griff
code 83 means service adaptive cruse control.
Which has nothing to do with change oil
The code for change oil is code 82 .
