Hi Martin,
Can I trouble you to take look at my post titled 3 Door Running Issues.HELP in the Ford Sierra /Sapphire/RS500 Cosworth section. I would really appreciate your input.
TIA.

No that has nothing to do with it, VSS is located on the gearbox the input from this is also used by the ECU, hence why it causes running problems as well.
The way to test if it's working is to coast slowly in neutral WITH the clutch released at which point the revs should raise slightly and drop when stationary.
Crankshaft Position Sensor, is is located by the crankshaft pully and works on a hall effect principle and measures the speed of the engine, the ECU uses this information that provides the spark at the plugs amongst other things.
