hey dude.... one thing i would check and its not totally related to the issues you have had... is the co settings now u have changed the cam.

an dblue temp sensors always get them from main dealer.... well i do as gsf ones alway seem to go fookin wrong! and yes u can start the engine without temp sensor plugged in but the cold start wont cut in so u will have to rev it to keep it running...

its an 8 valve and i've sorted it now, replaced the blue sensor and its running sweet! still want to get the emissions done so will pop along to my local place and see if they can do it for me. i love my car when it works!
