Default Help Identifying Map Sensor

Hi guys, got my XR2 EFI Turbo up and running, just having issues with it actually running tidy, the car doesnt seem to want to idle at all with the vacuum going to the map sensor connected. Ive been told it might possibly be the wrong sensor for my OFAB setup? Its a 1.8 ZVH but all standard other than that

Any ideas?

Is it possibly a Escort Cosworth Small Turbo sensor?

The only help I can be is that my old mk3 2i fiesta had the same running symptoms you have and I changed the MAP sensor and bingo solved.

I bought an OFAB loom, ecu and the map sensor off a breakers on eBay. ECU is standard, so explains why its running like a bag of crap!
