Only thing is, my inspection light has come on for some reason.
Thanks for the help chaps
It appears there's a connector unplugged. It's underneath the mass airflow sensor connector in your photo. Probably goes to the connector on the evap canister. That might throw a code and turn on the check engine light.
The actual 'inspection' light could be due to failing batteries on the SI board. Or it could be correctly calculating your time for 'inspection'.

My car actually doesn't have a charcoal canister. I'm guessing it has been deleted by a previous owner because why else would there be a connector there. Either that or one was never installed because in the UK, cars older than August 1992 don't need to pass any emissions laws.
Inspection light was reset a couple of months ago too. It now has come back with 'INSPECTION' and a little symbol that looks like a clock.

Did you have the battery disconnected the whole time you performed the work? If so, the SI board batteries may have fully discharged and will need some time to start holding charge again.
My SI board batteries are on their way out. Once I reset the inspection light they will "forget" after about 12 hours and the inspection light comes back on. One of my next projects will be purchasing and installing a refurb'd SI board (with new batteries).

Just driven a short way home from work and it seems like I have a decently sized coolant leak.. not sure where it's coming from. My guess is the hose that bridges where the old throttle body plate used to be.
I need to have a dig..
I've done exactly what the guy in this pic did and just used the hose that was there to bridge the gap. I never thought to check this, but is the nipple on the head the same size as that bit of hose? This might be my leak.Last edited by MouseRat; 11-07-2016, 07:08 PM.

The nipple on the hard plastic is a different size to the nip on the head so I grabbed two different size tubes and connected them with some steel tube and hose clamps. It feels nice and tight - no leaks so far
