The other thing is with it being a TF you will be able to get/use a cheap OBD2 reader. That will tell you what fault codes are stored in the ecu.

OK some codes now
Don't know how long they've been in there, so they've now been cleared to see if any come back.
These were the codes:-

P0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction
P0302 - Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected

Will take it for a run and see what happens

A missfire can throw up the cam shaft position sensor fault too. So I would be checking no 2 plug, lead and connection.

Another successful T Bar fault diagnosis. :broon:
It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

Glad you're sorted, and thanks for getting back with the resolution ... it makes your thread invaluable for others when searching ( which is why I amended the title. ;) )
