Yeah, it's underneath the throttle body, check you have'nt damaged a wire or pulled off the connector or something silly.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

If youve taken the manifold off and put it back on with a new gasket and its missing a fastening bolt then i would say it has an air leak too________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |
