Well, i finally finished off everything i can do on the Fairmont today. Installed new transmission and power steering lines and coolers, changed engine oil, filled with coolant, ATF and PSF. But, there are still problems.
I thought once the car was started that the throttle may become active again, not so. It took a few goes to eventually get the engine to start (in a way), but when it does start, it hardly idles and belches out thick black smoke. But wheather that's something to do with the XR6T MAP sensor and the ECM not being programmed for it, i'm not sure. I'm still stumped as to why the throttle has given up the ghost. Does the ECM earth through the stand it is rivited to? I've painted the stand and where it bolts down to the shock absorber bolts on the strut tower, isn't bolted down... But anyway, here's a video of the first fire: Youtube Link |

Hey dude, It will not run correctly with a 2bar map if it hasnt been flashed for it, It will go to shutdown mode where the throttle will not function.

I wish i'd known that before i'd cut and shut the wiring for the MAP sensor, if i put the old MAP sensor on, it's still not going to work properly

Cylinder head temp sensor connected/working? |

Let us know how you go once it's been "flashed".
That thing sounds tough! Cheers ToranaGuy

Well, you were right Bollocks it was the MAP sensor making everything play up, BUT i installed the N/A MAP sensor and tinned the tips of the wires on the old plug and stuck them into the new plug (so it's virtually back to normal), the throttle only works closed and at any pedal position, fully open. But when the engine is running, the throttle ceases to operate and the engine still runs rought as guts. All i can put it down to now, is that it's getting too much fuel.
Burn it i say lol
