ive just bought myself a p38 4.6HSE Rangie 1996. Its only got 50k (genuine with all the paperwork & serviced on the nose) ! Its a few years since my last 4.6 but unless my memory is failing me this one seems to lack power at anything below 3000 revs - even in sport mode it takes a severe foot on the throttle and then some patience !
Ive been through all the threads on this forum (and others) and im getting the feeling that the common theme is the MAF unit. I tried the trick of unplkugging it as suggested in a thread for a DHSE but I guess that doesnt work on petrol variants as mine wont start with it unplugged !
Is there any way of testing the unit without special test gear ? Also does anyone agree with my prognosis of the MAF being the most likley culprit or is there something else I should check ? Looking at the history she had new injectors about 8k ago and her last major service was only 2k back.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
