HELP NEEDED: Wiring in vectra B window switches

Re: Hi from a new guy

I have 2 spare X20xev engines. One that was knocking on the bottom end and one that had head problems, so when it blew up we used the crank out of the one with a decent bottom end and replaced the broken piston and a new set of shells all round, slotted the rebuilt engine back in and tried to fire i...

Re: Hi from a new guy

Thanks for the advice, I've had the ecu out and apart and it was dry as a bone, same with the ecu. It seems to run exactly the same with or without the crankshaft sensor plugged in... :?

At the moment I'm ripping my hair out over the flipping thing! I've had the engine out, had the crank reground and replaced the fudged pistons, shells and all the internal bits and put it all back together!
