Your need a twin sensor yes, Standard sensor is just a switch. Twin sensor can be got in a scrap yard from a cav/calibra, or if your lucky enough to find one, Nova SR/GTE/GSI. Or new on ebay. You know what one looks like?

Its located at the back corner as seen in this pic.

hi mate got my corsa running after fitting a 1200cc nova 8v starter motor i ended up stripping top end out ie injector rail inlet manifold all vacuum pipes etc rebuilt it the way it (should) be and it fired up but running on 3 cylinders and the coil you give me is the suspect so i will be re-fitting my old one tomorrow and securing all clips and plugs vac pipes and regs and see wat happens.....

1 sec

Top one on coil goes furthest left,
next one down goes furthest right,
3rd down goes to 2nd from left, then obviously last one goes in 3rd cylinder

Just ordered one of these sensors off ebay £45 inc postage, our suppliers couldnt find one, dont think he understood what i needed so just gave up found it on ebay and bought it, hopefully that will stop the bloody oil light from coming on! and then i can run my guage aswell

Thanks very much for the help AW06 much appreciated
