no they have been cut out recently,

battery has been off for the last 4-5 month!

dissconnected the phase sensor so it would go in to limp home mode and it did change for the worse

Has it been running rough ever since you reconnected the battery??

If not then disconnect it for a while again

Favourite would be crank sensor IMO..
