I don't have ignition amp due to ECU so it puzzles me, although throttle bodies make a starter swap easy so its not too bad.

I fitted some after market ones. No problems after that.
Simple! Hope this is your problem.

) This is not your average Vauxhall Nova, this one's got no wings, doors, windows, chairs, wheels or suspensionWhat it does have though is a liberal coating of our blood, sweat & tears from the days when it used to show many a 205 the way home on BTRDA events
So you've finally moved it from under the pile of sawdust and wrongly made doors at the back of your Dad's work then
