98 1.9T Diagnostic light on when cold,goes off whe - Unicorn

Hi all.

Need some advice from the pros. Just purchased an Turbo Diesel(DHX/XUD9)with 88K on the clock.

It was a mess being in limp mode. With air in the diesel, glowplugs not working and was just running bad. Replaced air/fuel/oil filters,
glowplugs, changed engine and gearbox oil.Starts first time and runs smooth.Revs quick however not underload. (Limp mode) Found that the instument panel was opened and ABS/Engine Diagnostic/Airbag lights missing. Replaced lights and found that the Engine Diognostic light stays on untill engine is at opporating temp. Goes off and goes on again as soon as I try to excellerate (in limp mode. No power, work the gears to get her going to 70). I tried to read the CPU by inserting a paper clip in pin5 and 6 in the 16-pin ALDL connector. Did not even work. What does it sound like and can I find the fault myself. How??
Thanks in advance.
HOW CAN I RETRIEVE THE ECU FAULT READING MYSELF?
