Vectra 150 lacks power
I have a 2002 Vectra 2.2 SRI 150. The previous owner had replaced middle box of exauhst with a straight through pipe so I had to replace the cat after a month, because he stuck gunk on instead of replacing the gasket between the cat and manifold.
It's much better but power seems to come and go. The head was tested and gasket was fine, so I was told to clean or replace the air intake meter. I am also having a problem with the display, which now mostly says stopwatch 0min 0sec instead of useful information.

More likely the final drive speed sensor/sender causing this problem.

The cam sensor went on my Vectra and backfired through the air filter.
I've changed the cam sensor and I've got a spark but no fuel to the engine. Is there a reset for fuel pump?
I recently changed the intercooler on my 2010 Jaguar XF and now I'm getting an intermittent warning message which reads 'water in fuel, consult handbook.' How do I get rid of this message?
My Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi runs fine for 35 - 40 miles, then cuts out as if the ignition was turned off. When I stop and turn off the ignition and then restart it then it runs fine. This is a repeating problem....
