   Ecu resets after 10 minutes of being unplugged
   But best bet is overnight
   Problem is, it then would be better with a run out so I can get sensors going again :/

   VTR has a Cat in the mani, doesn't it?
   
   I suspect you've put the downstream lambda into the manifold, when you should've put the upstream one in. Unfortunately you won't be able to reset the ecu even by leaving it for reminder of the life of the solar system, you'll have to get the fault cleared by a friendly garage.
