recently i had to change the headgasket because i had oil and water mix...

Basically i have all the elements to start the car up.. like Fuel, Spark and compression...

The firing order is correct
The CTS sensor is fine (i think)
The CSS is fine if it wasnt there wouldnt be no spark


erm i cant think of anything else right now (not slept in 3 days)
but yh this is the early c20xe Dizzy pack(1993) not the coil pack, this is in a Corsa B

Could anyone help me please as this car is really stressing me out :cry::cry::tard::tard:
its been a week while i have been trying to fix the problem

Where is the map sensor
im still learning new things lke sensors etc

is that the TPS by anychance??

ive got a powerplate / powercap on there instead of the SFi box

It should be attached to the bulkhead with a pipe running from it and a green 3pin plug attached to it bud.

yh i thought let me see if i can get any ideas if it could be anything else...
i have posted on few other sites....

all came back with the similar answer of
CTS
TPS (MAP SENSOR)
CSS
Check Wiring
Maybe some dirt keeping the INJECTORS open

Im going to presume the EML isnt one, even tho you wont know what that is.

wont start, thereofre no engine codes are stored due to the fact the engine doesnt know there is something wrong.

EML has been on since i changed the Oil Pressure Switch,
we tried to flash the codes but nothing came up

lol good point, didnt fully read the thread.

And the EML will come on with ign anyways.

yeah but it doesnt log a code, its on as part of the self check. c'mon AW you know that!

try ect sensor this will cause overfueling .near thermostat housing 2pins blue useally check wiring on this plug prone to fraying.about £7.00 pound from motor factors

and how do i test it before i starting buying stuff

near the temp gauge wire 1 spade connector .right near thermostat housing 2 pin wire connector .plug it into diagnostic to see how many degrees the sensors reading or check resistance between pins .check wiring into connection block.get resistance values for you tommorow.

thanks
we have checked the CTS sensor for Resistance and the plug seems to be showing resistance of roughly 280 Ohms
