C16xe - Wire sensor !!!

[Southie]

Well as a few of you know I'm having trouble getting my c16xe running right.

I have spark and fuel but every time I crank it over to start it just pops bangs and cuts out.

I have put extra earths on the engine bay (4 infact). Also put the fuel pump up to a constant feed to see if there were problems with the pump, but still the same!

I have this spare wire still hanging about but cannot seem to find where the hell it goes. A few off here have said it could be the tps/icv but it isn't that because the 3 pin I have left over is round but the tps/icv slot is oval

I have a x16xe throttlebody and inlet attached to the c16xe. I take it they are different then? Picture nicked from a eGay item. Mine is still on the car though.

Oh also I have done a flash code check and it only came up with number 12 but that's the start sequence number.

Cheers for the picture Burgo. I take it's a C16xe throttlebody then That's what I needed and would explain why everyone keeps saying TPS then = me

Well mine is the same as the one from ebay. So what would that be used for then

As it would on the picture you provided

The guy I bought the engine from was originally going to be running twin 40's so would the throttlebody maybe have been different for that setup.

if he was going to be running twin 40's he wouldnt have needed a TB hence it didnt matter what sort it was
