iv replaced a few parts recently and my car is still to unreliable to drive, just replaced a lamda sensor and it started but the rev counter didnt come on at all so i switched it back off and tried starting it again but it just cranks, its just come out of a garage and they told me i needed a new lamda

Is this the same garage that told you you needed a new crank sensor?

Exactly what setup are you running?

What sensors are hooked up? Which ecu? What block/head/cams? Does it have the diagnostic port wired in?

it doesnt have a diagnostics port, im not really good with electrics so this might not be 100% accurate but this is what i think i can see

Ok, you don't need to be good at electronics if you can be methodical.

Can you upload photos? One around the inlet manilfold would be useful

Not starting means either no/weak spark, no fuel, wring timing.

Check each of these and report back

I think it's meant to read WRONG, probably just a typo as I and O are right next to each other.
