i did comp test it the other day and i was getting 200-210 across all 4.

Only thing to do is check timing then. However I know it's easy to get it 180 degrees out. So what do I look for to ensure its not 180 degrees out when I check it?

Even though I've not touched the timing, but the engine is supposedly fitted with uprated cams, however I'm not certain. Would the timing being out that much make it only donor when it's warm????

think for the sake of what a loom will cost from a breakers, this has got to be the first port of call, as opposed to spending money on auto electricians to work on dismantled looms and spending money on this component and that component, then at least the loom is complete and something to rule...

limp mode can be anything from 2k-4k, so are you saying that the car isn't in limp mode then dan? then surely the fault must surely lay within the loom, as the loom is a canbus loom that obviously means that 1 wire will send a current to maybe 4 components etc? if the car was running spot on...
