Vauxhall Vectra sensor problem
The cam sensor went on my Vectra and backfired through the air filter.
I've changed the cam sensor and I've got a spark but no fuel to the engine. Is there a reset for fuel pump?

If you have suffered a backfire in to the intake manifold then it may be that you have damaged the MAF sensor, which also has the engine temp sensor fitted to it.You may be able to clean the sensor with electronics cleaner(aerosol),don't use anything else.
If not possible then you may have to look at replacing
