Did you reconnect the map sensor? Check all other connections, the idle speed valve (white electrical connector) too.

Re-check everything to make sure all connections are as they were, a good thing to do before you start a job is to take some pics as you do it so that you can have a look to see where everything goes back.

Map sensor was my guess too but if thats already in check the rest too.

I fixed it, popped out the sparkplugs, top one was wet and oily so gave it a clean and bottom one was dry as a bone with a bit of build up on it. popped them back in and after a pop and a splutter it was working again.  I dunno what this tells me about the engine with the spark plugs in that condition


btw thanks for you help guys much appreciated
