I just realsised what it was - The Emmision Controll not Anti Pollution, which is what the guy selling me the car reffered to. It measures the exaust gasses and regulates the fuel accordingly. I was wondering whether just disconnecting the sensor will give all the power back, or it just sets it to a default setting, giving you less or equal power.
