are you sure its the map sensor ?
are you using frst inlet air temp sensor ? if you use the 3i one the values are all wrong
is there black smoke /large smell of fuel out the exhaust ?

honestly mate im sure you have to use the frst one im sure karlos will confirm this
this may make it over fuel /lean as the values are far different
the blue smoke is nothing to do with this

Was the standard cam in good condition. The Kent CVH35 cam won't be causing poor idle by the way, unless it was missing a lobe or 2.
Get a MAP sensor for the car. It will not work with any other sensor as it's a digital sensor and not analogue like OFAB/Cosworth Marrelli. The car will never run right without the correct sensor on it.

can only realy be map sensor
do you know an auto spark ? maybe he could check the diag port for codes and that may tell you whats wrong
if i were you instead of guessing get someone to read the codes on the ecu and go fron there

No it can't be adjusted and no it's not timing causing a misfire.

surely its not worth giving up on it if all it needs is a new map sensor. They're only about £50 for a 2.5bar one from woodford garage arent they? Isnt it gonna take alot of time to convert it back to mfi? I wish it was only gonna cost me another £50 or so to get my car back on the road.
