mross Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 apparently yes it has if its the 123 bhp duratech unit according to Haynes manual via a friend, im not 100% on this so have a look, it should be located on the right hand side of the cam cover near the top of the ignition leads, your looking for a small black plastic unit about the size of a small match box attached to the head with a multi-plug connected to it, hope this helps.

starfield Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 i am assuming the car has got a knock sensor. here is the next question: has the car got variable valve timing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mross Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hi Starfield Doesn't matter what the engine size is, on duratech petrol engines with TI-VCT you will see the four sensors on the cam cover, if they are not there then its not a TI-VCT engine. Take a picture of the engine and post it here if your unsure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a picture of the engine and post it here if your unsure. I can see four thick wires or cables on the right hand side of the engine. they are near the top. i have taken a few pics from my camera phone. i hope the resolution is ok and will shed some light.

mross Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Hi Starfield im 100% certain that this engine is not a TI-VCT unit (has no variable cam timing), sorry if this disappoints you mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mross Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Judging from the pics they look like vac pipes, are they rubber or metal pipes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
