hey folks in the middle of done and cvh running cosworth managment but it has a full cosworth inlet manafold. anyway got it in the car got it running but its like a bag of sh*te engine sounds smooth but its popping and banging as soon as you try to rev it. its running dark green injectors on p8 ecu with pectal boards. one idle if you pull out the first ignition lead it doesnt change anything? i think it is because of the cam sensor but not sure any thoughts are very helpfull.
cheers alan

Are you actually getting a spark from no.1? If you are its probably a timing issue, if your not then thats possibly your problem (lack of spark),

You only need to swap wires on the cam sensor if you are using a Ford sensor (like from a Zetec or Escort WRC Cam sensor style). If you are using a Weber sensor - it should be fine. A Ford sensor will be Black and quite large, a Weber is usually white and quite small.

Also bear in mind that if you are running a P8 - you need the PF09 TPS. And if your loom is not originally a L8 or P8 loom, you'll need to swap the outer two wires on the TPS plug.

ok cheers mate but the loom is all braided and made ust for that engine and managment it was running before in another s2 i bought everything off it and the only thing i have changed or moved was the cam sensor i moved it by a mistake and the ingition amplifer cuz it never came with one that is it cheers
