Default Ford sierra running problem

I own a 2.0 dohc efi sierra sapphire, i have changed map sensor, idle control valve, ecu coolant temp sensor, air temperature sensor, leads and plugs, throttle position sensor.
It runs rough and wont take throttle, sometimes it won't start, does anyone have any ideas? I heard theres a specifc way to fit throttle position sensor?

Gotta agree with Stevie here need to work out what's wrong rather then just keep changing parts

Have you worked out exactly why it doesn't start ?

The haynes manual I linked to will cover a lot of basics to help you learn how things work, and then how to test them
