Does not answer the question. There are different versions of this sensor. And, I am told aftermarket ones are not always good. Plus, some mistake the one one the bottom of the radiator as the CTS.

Go back to that. Make triple sure you hooked everything back up and be absolutely sure the intake tube from the airbox to the turbo is securely tightened an no cracks or holes in the tube.

Didn't say you broke anything. Just informing you that the intake tube to the turbo is a common failure point and very small cracks or other leaks, such as an improperly tightened clamp, can cause the problem you are having.

Google what you are looking for and you will get a ton of pictures, video and other related stuff. Basically it should be on the driver side in close proximity to the axle attachment point. Will most likely need to detach the coolant tank to get at it.

The air pipes are plastic, old and brittle. They can crack crumble or breach without any provocation by you. Look at the POV spider hose in particular. Worth looking at once you solve the no start problem. Likely not the cause of it though
