tdc sensor on ignition lead

[little_miss_naughty 0]

ive just bought some ht leads for my corrado,should it have come with the tdc sensor cable stuck on 1 lead? because th set of leads ive bought hasnt got it on them, will the car run ok without it being connected?

Where did you buy the leads from...? Depending on where they're from, you should find you can unscrew one end of the lead and slip the Ignition Reference Sensor back over lead number 4.

got the leads off ebay,the dizzy side of the lead is crimped on cant see the plug end tried unscrewin it and it doesnt want to twist .will it run ok with these leads without the sensor?

I ran a previous 16v without this lead and it did run seemingly quite normally... but I will say I did experience intermittent cut outs of the engine ever since I did that. You ideally want to get it sorted.

 

Beru leads from VWSpares do have the unscrewable connectors at the dizzy end and won't break the bank.
