Nope, revs are even worse now, really stuttery after 2500.

All plugs are nice and tight all leads securly fitted and all wiring connections made!

Do you think all the plugs are firing?

Whip them out, looking for black / wet / petrol smelling plugs

After my old 2.0 rebuild, it was only firing on 2.....

Saying that when I removed the plugs from cylinder 1 & 2 they were both black.

Also Ive just been speaking with a mechanic I used to work with and he thinks that all this could be down to a faulty earth to the head!

He states that probably why the cam sensor is not getting a good connection!

Have removed all four plugs and found them all to be black, not oily or covered in petrol but black carbon. By the way these are also new plugs to go with the new leads.

Have removed earth connection off the injector rail and cleaned it but couldnt see any more to check. Removed all multi plugs and refitted ensuring a good connection however still the same faults. Cam sensor and autobox.

all plugs black and dry? It can't be firing right...

I'd be interested to connect a timing strobe, and see if each plug lead has a spark...

Unfortunatly I dont have one, but I have found the number of a local electrician, so Im going to give him a call today and see what he has to say and CHARGE lol

Well next to final post. Have arranged to drive car in to garage tonight so hopefully will have better news to post next time.

Just got to wiggle the wires and see if I can ge the autobox light off again then crawl at 5mph to the garage on the other side of town lol

Will post to let you know what they found on completion.
