i have a fiesta turbo which run when i parked it up at a friends a long time ago, now ive got it back the car starts then just stalls, the map sensor plate has....vanished so cant earth it properly either, will the map sensor cause the stalling? cheers

 

What sensor is it? Some need the earth, others don't.

It would make it run very bad everywhere if it wasn't earthed.

 

it does have an earth ring in it as its ofab but really need a plate to mount al the edis etc back to as i think this is probaly the cause

 

i always thought it used the wires to earth it out
have you not tried to put a wire on the earth (battery) and then fix it to the senser and see if it runs

 

nope, had no wire in the garage when i tried starting it a while back lol
