Hello all!
Well, I successfully changed my meega head with a second hand one after purchasing said car with cambelt snapped. All good, up and running but got slight problem.
I get very rough running and inability to rev. But when I disconnect the camshaft sensor it runs fine but I suspect at base settings, a little underpowered. So, my question is.. are there two types of camwheel because I can't remember whether I used the ones that came with the head or the ones that were originally on the car.. I think I've fitted the original car ones but perhaps the new cams are different? The others got binned so I can't just swap them over otherwise I would try that of course. If anyone could shed any light on this I could go looking in the breakers yard for what I need.

Thanks for any suggestions in advance!

Have you got an engine management light on?  Is the bulb working ok?  Think it's a bit unusual that it works better with the sensor unplugged.  Could be just a faulty sensor.  Paperclip test needs doing.

Thanks Rickyboy, I did post a reply to your message before but for some reason it didn't go through.. my substandard internet connection I think..!

My main question is whether there different types of camwheels on the 2.0 ecotec?

Cheers
