In the last few weeks my x16xe has decided to run like a bag of shit 
-When cold on idle, it has developed a misfire (only when cold though)
-Its been burning a fair amount of oil of recent, my guess is the stem seals, and it just doen't go half as well as it did before
i.e. when you rev it off the line, it bogs like hell then pick up?
any input would be greatly appreciated, im stumped as to what it could be
Free beer all night for the person that helps me sort it

Mixed up?
as long as there connected to vacuum, there fine.
Can you see blue smoke out the exhaust?

CTS sensor may cause it to run lean/rich.

Where would I find that baby?
Also it only smokebadly on start up, which is why i think its the stem seals
When I say mixed up vacuum pipes, i'm not sure if any of them are connected to the correct bits in the right places...if you understand me?

I'll be changing that when i fit the c16xe head, am going to change the CTS as well.
Thinking about it, a while back a black wire next to the battery earthed out on the battery tray while i was driving it, lots of sparks and the misfired badly, eml light came on.....maybe thats a contrbuting factor too

CTS sensor is the blue top one on the thermostat housing.
