If the Mondeo didn't have shielded cable for this sensor you'll probably get away with it if you route the wiring well clear of any
'noisy' stuff, i.e. HT leads, coils, alternator, etc. But my feeling is why risk it - induced noise on this line (and the TPS line) can
produce spurious faults which can be difficult to diagnose, so for the the sake of a couple of meters of shielded cable I'd be inclined to play
safe 
PS. The smoke has just about cleared now at Windsor....

The smoke has all gone in ashford too,probs safe to go in the garage now.
a wild stab in the dark,maplins might be the best place for shielded.
I'll need a bit myself so i'll trot down there in the week if you want john

Well done mate! You must have got some sort of program loaded for it to run at all. What you need to do now is fire up megatune and setup all the
various parameters to suit your installation. It sounds like your sparks are working, but you'll need to setup the fuelling side. Basically this
means setting up the 'constants' file and then getting some sort of fuelling map loaded. Time to RTFM I reckon!
Good luck, Geoff.

Is that like manual injection ?
Squirting the fuel in by hand might get a bit hectic when you want to go fast Can't you drag the desktop computer out into the shed to tune
it John ?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
