   Hi all. As some of you know im having trouble with my saxo 16v, it wont start unless i unplug the throttle potentiometer and hold the throttle open then it will come down and idle rough and i mean rough but if you leave that plugged in it wont start without more gas but it will just cut on idle. Things iv replaced : ICV, TPS, lambda, map sensor......... Plugs are pure black and sooted up and the car stinks of petrol. Any ideas would be good. I had the timing belt off last week, if it was a tooth out would that cause this?

   Iv checked everything on it, every sensor im now lost and dont know what else to try. I think it might be the ecu, I have 2 3 plug vts ecus and i think they are both dead.

   It is that bad, Im so tempted to go torch it. Everything breaks on it, its had 3 axles in a year, every sensor replaced, 3 ecus, driveshafts. I love the car but sick of the sight of it now.

   Used ones are always a gamble.
