sorry didnt explain about the compression test properly,what i meant was what would the reading be on the compression test as its a turbo engine so i thought it would read a bit lower anyway wouldnt it
the problem is that the car seems to tickover fine just a bit rich and hesitates a bit when u rev the engine but can pass that,then when you try 2 drive the car it will just about pull away its got worse since i changed some wires abou on the ecu,then when its rolling and the turbo starts 2 spool up it just starts coughing and spluttering and will cut out if you dont dip the clutch so that the engine isnt under load,ive put a timing gun on it and its showing 60degrees of advance at tdc on the bottom pulley,
the problem sounds like timing is out to me like on an old engine if the distributor was moved,the fault code reader has shown up a fault with the engine coolant temp sensor and the iscv and another fault which i cant seem 2 figure out
