Thanks for replys. Ive checked the earth cleaned then. No change. Put new coil pack on and it sounds alot bettter than it did. Just wondering if crank sensor is at fault?

Hi bud...doubting rear earths will be a prob for u....ma battery has been relocated to boot and main earth was shorting due to moisture starting to rust ringlet ....


Are u sure the plugs for your Map sensor and co pot have not been swapped by mistake if u no wot a mean....plug meant for map plugged into co pot and copot into map.....now this had been done by a garage so maybe more common than a thot..also my fp had been fkd with to a crazy amount wich was causing major probs
