Doesnt sound to go to me if its crashed :S

I very much doubt the ECU would have of blocked the engine.

EPS - is the steering.

Check the FAQ for the codes

If it has nearside frontal damage have you checked the air-pump is still intact?

Could do with knowing some info on the car, year and what kind of damage etc

Won't be the airpump Lloyd - the codes dont relate and also should still start, but would give a CEL I believe...

How come you bought a wrecked one then?

S2000 engines sit on hydralic mounts which do give quite a bit so in a med frontal the ground wire from the N/S under chassis rail upto the engine can snap causing voltage issues across all the sensors.
