Got home and after fighting with the heatshield for about an hour discovered the actuator arm was off, put this back on and tried her again - still the same, no power, my next thought would be the tcv but have been unable to source one.
Thinking I've bought a total pup and considering just getting rid of for whatever I can get for it and cutting my losses but does it sound like a simple fix?
