Could well be.

or CPS,MAP(how was it tested before?)but a diag would of found this out...unless it was a quick 'see if theres any codes there'
Simply monitoring the parameters on examiner should be enough to determined this fault.

Cps?

sorry,crank sensor,had a real strange one few years back,tried everything:bang: tried a cps out of desperation & it was alright! Was more poor starting but used to cut out & not start again.cps was going open circuit internally.
Wouldnt really explain the no throttle sympton,I'd suspect the MAF but am I right in saying these aint got one(use MAP insteard)?

yeah they use MAP instead of MAF. Ah yeah, crank sensor, i've got into the habbit of calling it TDC sensor.

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the cps/tdc held on by 2 small screws on a bracket ,might be getting mixed up here but are they prone to rust there & u cant get screws out...remember epoxying one in place once(worked!)but cant remember what on,think it was a cinq?

that sounds right, held in by two small screws on part of the block casting. not seen one rust before, but i tried to remove one and it was stuck in place. i thought a light a tap with the fine adjustment tool would free it, but i smashed the sensor.
