No, I mean the battery positive supply from the ecu box to the battery pos clamp.

 ok mark thanks for clearing that for me matey !! would it be worth taking all wires off clamp cleaning and re seating ??  

[Marks DTM Calib]

Its always worth doing it but, check they are tight.....

Can you recall exactly what connectors were disconnected, its normaly:

Idle valve
Rear multiram
EGR
Injector multiplug
Throttle Pot
Knock sensor

The only two out of that lot you can realy get mixed up are the rear multiram and the idle valve....check these are connected correctly. For info the wires colors are:

Multiram - Brown/Grey or Brown/Black and Red/Blue
Idle valve - Brown/Blue and Red/Blue

Its just possible that if the rear multiram wiring was connected to the idle valve that the current draw might cause the driver to keep tripping.....and hence possibly cause weird operation plus...it wouldn't start because the valve would be fully shut.
 
Worth a quick check

 didnt dissconect the knock sensors but everything else yes !! if it wasnt lashing it down would be out there and check it matey !!

[markey mark]

right mark tried the plug thing and they wont swap places !! didnt take them out of carrier tray !! checked the wires from battery and all tight matey !! any other ideas please  

[markey mark]

  fixed it !!!   found three earth wires at back of plenum  
 forgot them somehow !!!! doh !!! thanks for your input guys !!!  cheers mark

Welldone Markey, Happy Days

[CaptainZok]

Glad you got it sorted mate.

Why did you take them off, they only need removing when removing the head.....

[STMO123]

Nice one Markey . Its no consolation I know, but its only through people having weird problems like this, that we all get to know what to look for in future.

 someone else must of removed them and bolted them to the plenum bud !! it had cheap crap hard rocker gaskets in it !!! sorted now mark thanks for your input !! mark

 yea mate someones problems are someones answers matey !!

Bolted to the plenum!

So they are now back on the three bolts on the end of the DIS pack mounting bracket I assume as the plenum is a questionable earth point, the three earths are for the ECU/injectors etc so need to be pretty good.

Bad earth somewhere perhaps?
