Idling problem after cam sensor replacement

[Roy]

After blowing injector 1, replacing it, then the several others and the fuel rail, before trapping the wire for the cam sensor between the manifold i had to replace the cam sensor. having ordered a crank sensor by mistake i figured it wouldnt be a bad idea to stick that on at the same time. The initial problem with the cam sensor was erratic idling where it would rev between 1k and 3k when it got up to temperature, having cured the cam sensor and injectors i am now having troble where she wont idle. she runs nice but just drops outwithout any persuasion from the throttle. Bravo 1.6 16v (182b600, listed as stilo engine as far as i can tell) any help at all?????

Did you position the sensor right ?
It has a tendency to get an error after replacement, a diag check would reveal more.

I positioned the new cam sensor as per the position of the one I removed, I didn't actually fit the crank sensor myself as my friend did that while I fiddled about up top, would the positioning of the crank sensor leave her feeling a bit grumpy? I have cleaned the throttle body with some injector cleaner and awaiting diag as I cant move her due to running out of tax & test while being sat on the drive. 1 faulty injector has cost me new plugs and leads, injectors, fuel rail, coil pack and new cam and crank sensors. If I have to put anymore money into her i think our lass is going to kill me, please help.....
