Outragious emissions

So Phil

Do you have the vacuum line between the plenum and the ECU?

as your MEMS 1.9 car will not run correctly without it.

It's on there

I may have just had a moment of enlightenment. When I swapped the engine, i changed all the sensors, injectors etc. The only thing I didn't change was the crank position sensor. I assumed they where the same and as the car started and ran ok, also assumed it was good. I have just seen on another forum that they may be different between MEMs 1.9 and 3. Can anyone confirm this?
I think there is a saying about assumption being the mother of all fluff ups. I am hoping to high heaven that this is my problem.

Phil - could only find one cps listed. I'm guessing you've put in a faulty camshaft sensor or plugged the wrong connector to it. Bad connection on sensor? Worth rechecking that you've not got any damaged pins.

Just another thought. Have you rechecked that your camshafts are accurately set and one not one tooth out?

Yes to the cam timing.. checked and double checked when fitted.

There does look to be a different sensor for each, difficult to find online. But I think these are them:

3.7 - Sensor - Crankshaft NSC100760 (1 Req)(SENSORS (MGF&TF))£23.95

4.8 - Screw - Crank sensor fixing FS105167 (1 Req)(SENSORS (MGF&TF))£0.72

5.Crank sensor (long pin) MGF(ELECTRICS)£23.95

6.Crank sensor (long pin) ZR(Z ELECTRICS)£34.95

Thanks for all the help and suggestions. A replacement ECU and 5AS cured the problem. The cat and lambda also needed doing as the overfuelling had killed them. Anyway it's all good now, emission are now in spec

Well done, another success for perseverance!
