thanks steve,
he removed all plugs but left the coils connected to the loom hanging,

anyhow i replaced all plugs and coil packs with bosch just to be sure they were good,

i have now replaced both o2 sensors before cat and they have been reading fine since and the system now stays in closed loop so using the sensors for mix.

car runs much better but still a small amount of stumbling at low revs so ive ordered new vacuum tube and a four way to make things better incase small leak as i know the resonance actuator connection is very loose.

just a word of warning, if you replace the aos dont use a jubilee clip on the lower bellows as mine ripped and had to fit a new one, also got the right clip.

no smoke at all now even on start up fixed, also no oil anywhere fixed,

i occasionally get a noise on startup, sounds like a playing card held in a spinning bicycle wheel,
when i rev it clears but can come back on decelleration ? hope its not can chain tensioner?

could it be a sticking exhaust lifter, would a treatment of engine flush and new oil maybe cure it?

hoping its exhaust as its a bit crap with rear clamps missing, ive ordered some.

getting there,

cheers
