car is at garage today, just had a phone call saying that the diagnostic didnt no what day it was when plugged in let alone what is wrong with it
so it looks like i am going to have to remove the engine strip it down, replace sensors, check all wiring, replace seals etc then try and refit the whole thing and hopefully it will all work then.

So what should i be buying to rebuild the engine?

when you say runs like crap, do you mean a misfire? a full on miss, or just lumpy running?

Erm, the switchover valve is located near the passenger wing towards the front of the car under the engine bay its like a black little dome thing.

Also Make sure you have no air leaks, I was told to check this when mine was idling high and this is what it was...

its not the wiring that is the problem. it is all the vacum hoses etc
where does the bottom big hose off the secondary air pump go
