This the sensor on the bulkhead? Green clip?
If so, how do you get the sensor out? It's throwing up high voltage on the ECU, so am gonna try one from the breakers.

Car overfuels too, just did a search, and a couple of posts say that if the lambda sensor is faulty then it could cause problems with the MAP sensor, this true?

Possibly however you should only go on what the ECU says first.

Right yeah, I wasn't thinking that the lambda sensor would come up on the ECU seperately if it was faulty, doh.
So is that plug the MAP sensor?

Cool. Have to figure out to get the sensor from the bulkhead now.

It should just be 2 nuts iirc then it comes away from the bulkhead then unclip the green plug

Thats clever, so the MAP sensor isn't actually in the manifold

it only read's vacume/pressure thing so it dont need to be on the manifold at all

Well, if it wasn't connected to the manifold it someway, it wouldn't do a very good job

Sensor is £50 + VAT from Vauxhall
Or got a price of £39 from a local parts centre.
Loads of 1.2's in the breakers but no 1.4's  I presume a 1.2 one won't work as it'll fuel differently to a 1.4?

if its coming up with a high voltage check all the earths on the engine as they can cause this

It's now coming up with low voltage too
Cheers Vaux Lad, I'll 'borrow' one of those from breakers then

FFS the vacuum hadn't been plugged in at the other end
Couldn't find where it went so rang Lee Mitchell and found out where it's meant to go. Hopefully when I can get it started (see new help thread :lol the fault won't come up anymore
