There isn't one.
You'l have to use schematics in the back of the haynes book and a DMM to measure each signal wire to see if it goes to the right place.

> and the car is running like a bag of .......you know what

well if the car tuns over, fires up and actuall starts and idels, then there can't be much wrong with it. As the ECU light is on, then you can get a TECH1 or TECH2 reader on it to look at the codes, your do it yourself for free with a paper clip. See my guide

There were two types of C20XE, M2.5 and M2.8 (the fuel system). As you have a DIS (no dizzy), then you want M2.8 C20XE engine stuff. These are common and you will find these in Astras, Cavaliers and Calibras.
