think you might want to pull off the plug leads and reconnect them, fire it up before anything else. | |

I think i tried the throttle, infact when i revved it it was fine, just on tick over was when it was thud thud thud! | |

Sounds like a good plan chaps, i'll try it tomorrow when i get in from work, it doesn't seem to smoke like it was, just a really shite tick over. Just left with a baffeling alarm by tomorrow i hope that keeps blowing fuses left right and sensor, and i'm also left with a fried CAT1 alarm ECU, that aint gone be cheap! | |

run the engine from cold for about 5-10 seconds, then feel each exhauust manifold branch, if any of them are colder than the others then that cylinder isnt firing. then work backwards electrically from that cylinder, also try a compression test to see if your getting any compression on that cylinder. | |

what heppens if you blip the throttle? Sounds like it's not running on all cyl at idle if it's as lumpy as you say. | |
