hi

basically run out of ideas now and need some advise. my astra gsi turbo is currenty in limp mode, doesnt boost or rev high and some times cuts the throttle completely till you turn it on and off again. and constantly brings up the code PO340 (cam sensor). so i took it to garage they fit new plugs, afm and cam sensor. still had same problem. me and a freind have since tried two different cam sensors, removed the loom checked everything, found one of the wires going into the cam sensor plug had came out, repaired this and still had same issues. then someone suggested a crank sensor ,yet again no joy. went and got a new ecu as i was told this was the problem but made no difference.

thanks
