Is that the yellow plug one ,is there any way to test it ?
Could it be timing issue or even a chance it spun a shell ? As it won't even run now

The yellow sensor is the throttle body heater so it's not that. Shells knock like f**k when they go.
Is the fuel pump running?

It'll run without the TPS plugged in so I doubt it's that. When thy fail its just very hesitant unless the throttle is wide open.

I'd say ICV when they completely fail they stay in the same position and do not allow air to pass by it so literally it'll start and then die immediately. One way around this is use your throttle adjuster pin to open the throttle slightly so the car can at least draw air to allow it to idle.

Pin the bottom pulley and exhaust cam and as you release the belt tension make sure you are holding the inlet cam very tightly so it can't move then turn it to line back up, pin it up and refit the belt.

It is very important that you do not let it move when you release the belt tension because it will want to turn and you will hit the open exhaust valves. Fingers crossed you havnt but a tooth out on these engines will usually have caused damage already.

Not sure how i managed it to be honest, as I timed it up ok and even drove round init yesterday. So i have retimmed it up again, but I have noticed when I slacken the camshaft bolts on the inlet one is so tight as in almost sezied to try and rotate it clockwise , it take a lot of force but does not rotate back at all.could this be the problem? it runs atm but could something be damaged?

Explain rich ? I understand there be some compression there, but would of been able to still turn out easily to an extent?

I got to the point were it was better cc than this morning, but now don't sure what to do. Get someone to look at it or trade it in

Do you mean the pulley is hard to turn on the camshaft or the camshaft itself?

If you mean the pulley is tight probably best to remove and put a bit of grease so it can move in the slotted area nicely. If It's too tight it won't move when you tension the belt and this uneven tension is what will result in 1 cam being slightly out after a few rotations.

Whenever I do a cambelt I always give a little spray of wd40 to make sure the cam pulleys are nice and free for adjustment

This is so important, can lead to mis-timing if the cams aren't independent of the pulleys when doing a belt. Sad

Just take the pulley off the cam will only turn little ? I take it off take it apart and give it a quick sand to get it moving freely ? When you put it back on tighten it up a little then re time the cam it should only need moving a little not a whole turn
