You need to go back to basics Simon.

when you turn ignition on does the fuel pump prime?
Does the amal valve click( if you have one)?
do you have fuel at the rail?
do you have spark?
If you get a feeler gauge and touch the crank sensor (with ignition on) the fuel pump should cut in

Need some pics really it would help also look at that site.

Strange being a 93 that's a 4x4 loom so it could be for a knock sensor use that site and check for L8 ecu wiring.

Hope that helps

Lambda sensor would be a 3 wire triangular plug it won't make any difference if its connected or not.

if your using a 4x4 loom do you have the 2 large multi plugs still in the loom?

Was it running before? have you changed anything cam belt dizzy ?

non starting is either no fuel spark or crank position sensor isn't working or phase sensor in dizzy.

join photobucket and put some pics up or you can sent via email to me just drop me a pm
