Ive changed that bout 3 weeks ago for a second hand 1 cos had a missfire but that turned out to be the coil, so i could try putting the old 1 back on see if that makes a difference, I heard crank sensors go down on these a bit but the car wouldn't run at all right?

icv will take around 30 mins to get off and clean and re fit. second hand theyre around £10. as i say best bet is to get the wiring done

yeah think i will get it wired up seems pointless throwing money at it for no reason. I thought ICV would take a lot long than that, so thats good to hear ill av go at tht tonite thanks alot mate
