Default Cam sensor wiring help needed

Hi all so some of you may have seen my other post ref my non starter vtr 03 plate. Abit of an update I have just realised on the new loom the previous owner had installed only has one wire going to it (a brown/red) the other is a green wire. I'm a 100% that this would make a non start fault, would it not? And if it does can anyone tell me where this wire goes back to on the ecu plugs. Thanks you in advance, craig

I would hunt round the engine bay --think its probably wrong connector been put on crank sensor --maybe another same plug type with 2 wires on somewhere else -
1wire sounds like temp sensor or oil pressure switch connection--failing that get a wring diagram

How many wires should go to the crank sensor? 1 or 2

Thank you phaeton and I belive you are correct it has two wires form crank sensor I belive he has put the temp sensor on the crank sensor and the crank sensor on the temp sensor. Fingers crossed could have her running in under 5 mins if that's the case. Should have a green and white wires going to it I think.

I looked up injector circuit and most searches say it's a wiring problem due to low voltage.

So gents fitted new injectors and fuel rail, no more codes in ecu and light now out, however the lumpyness still persists. It runs lumpy and no response from the throttle at all. After a short while it then dies, does this sound like a fuel issue? Car was sat for 8 mo the with a full tank of fuel I'm thinking dirty clogged fuel filter? Anyone have any other suggestion? Iv also tried another crank and map sensor still the same lumpy idle
