right better do a update on this right got the engine bk in with no problems tried starting didnt turn over checked all the wiring loom to find out the 1 plug wasnt connected plugged that in and it turned over bargain all was sweet set for a hissing noise found out it was the little pipe the connects the idle control valve to the inlet had splitt sorted that out and car was all good so desided to change my insurance back over to it drove it for a couple of weeks till caught the exhuast really badly on a hump later on that day it sounded like the exhaust was blowing so i checked the exhaust to find out the manifold had cracked once again the problem was that the person who welded it up last time said it cant be welded again for sum reason so it was time to put it back in the garage and find a new car
