just about to pull my hair out now. come to the conclustion that it is still in ignition fail-safe mode and doesn't want to come out or is it the ecu?

does the c3 1.4i sport auto have a noise filter in the ignition fail safe circuit. where would this be and how do you check a fail safe circuit is not the problem.
