Fitted a x16xe into my previously 1.4 sport (x14xe) Got it in changed the ecu etc, and ive started it and it ticks over fine.. when you drive it though the mangement light is on and it misses really bad. It feels slower than a 1 litre! Changed the plugs and leads and its made no difference. Im at the point where i feel like kickin the car in. Anyone got any suggestions what it can be? I tried pluggin my mates snap on diagnostics computer to it but its not communicating. I tried it as both 1.4 sport and 1.6 sport. This is really gettin to me now so any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

Right just done the paper clip test and its reeling off nearly every friggin sensor on the car It started with 12 12 12 as it says it would then it went 47 47 47 (which is the egr) then 85 85 85 (injector 5) then 84 84 84 (injector 4) then 18 18 18 (knock control unit).. and so on i got to 9 sensors and got bored. Theres no way in hell all them sensors or parts of my engines are broke? Do you think its a wiring problem?

The engine is out of a P reg Tigra 1.6i (x16xe) My car is a P reg Corsa 1.4 Sport (x14xe) we have used the original corsa wiring loom, but we have used the tigra ecu.. do you think the problem is in the wiring of the engine or not?

If the scanner wont communicate i'd say its ecu/wiring related.

its a knock sensor fault mate. if the knock sensor isnt getting a correct reading, the sensors will throw up loads of faults. the knock sensor wiring on a 1.4 16v and 1.6 16v are different.
