Fault 8 is easy, its just the sensor that lives above the airfilter box, before it goes into the flexible hose.

Have a spare one you can try out to see if it makes any difference.

The pump timer fault is more involved, but check all the plugs to the fuel pump and wires going to them, but the fualt air temp sensor could be stuffing up the timing giving the fualt light.

Alway change the cheap/easy stuff first and go from there.

re codes 8 & 12

cometopapa; code 8 as tonyN says;
code 12 is the pump timer or it's control, there are some electrical tests that can be carried out on the pump electrics; but it can be mechanical,
(resistance checks to test circuits to each sensor/switch/plunger etc)
the crankshaft position sensor can also give rise to code 12,
hth cheers wrench.
