   a plug for a flywheel sensor. Will this stop the car from working? My mate reckons his vts doesnt have one either. I havent tried starting it, because the conversion isnt finshed. Can someone help? Cheers

   surely it must have a sensor for the fuel timing?

   I assume you mean the one on the front? Theres a slot on the flywheel you can line up on it to find TDC on 1 to time up the engine, other than that it doesn't do anything, no sensor is supposed to be there.

   CPS - Crank Position Sensor
   
   Think the connector can be 2 pin or 3 pin. Depending on year/model/day of the week built lol.
   
   But it'll definately have one. Car wouldn't even start without a reading.

    You had a crank position sensor, but don't remember plugging in a wire to it.
    
    From memory though, there wasn't a wire to go to the crank positon sensor. I seem to remember from mine that there was a connector plug over the top of the gearbox, and then a lead that connects the connector by the gearbox, to the crank position sensor.
    
    If i get a chance tonight or tomorrow, I'll have a look at mine.

    Problem solved. My loom is the three pin type. So i got one from and AX. Fits perfectly. Had to change the bracket though.
