Before. Just pull plug out of MAF sensorJust trying to button it all back together now. In between other stuff.
Should I fire her up before disconnecting the MAF plug or do it before starting?
I unplug before starting, don't want to spike the ECUJust trying to button it all back together now. In between other stuff.

Yup,I miss the chat's we used to have on the phone. Pity due to circumstances I couldn't meet him face to face.I do miss that man
This is a set of normal figures, I take it the aircon is switched off?
The air temp figure relates the the earlier car with no MAF and an IAT sensor so it's just a default figure that has no meaning on your carYes, AC off. That's useful being able to see all the results on one screen. On the nano you have to close down menus and open new ones with frustrating laggyness.
Interesting that your air temp is the same as mine, so that's normal then.
The actual figures you have probably reflect the fluctuating revs, the set point and actual often seem to differ at times but yours are perhaps more than usual.I see, ta. Injector set and actual are iffy compared to yours Keith.

I'll go look at the vid I made..bear with....What's your fuel temp?
6deg cold start, 35deg at 95deg coolent temperature.
Well....I unplugged the MAF before the cold start and it ran the same as if I hadn't. Plugged it back in and there was no change in engine note although it's constantly changing with the lumpy idle. The glows de- energised a couple of secs after the dash light went out iirc.That sounds about right. That seems to affect the set point of injection on mine. Unplugging the MAF made no difference?
I'd be tempted to set the FIP as per RAVE to eliminate any potential issues there.
Anyone know how long the glow plugs stay on after the dash light goes out? Are the glow plugs switching off too early?
Power is removed from the glow plugs when the glow light goes out, however the effects of combustion means they don't go cold.That sounds about right. That seems to affect the set point of injection on mine. Unplugging the MAF made no difference?

I still think worn chain tensioners could be behind the lumpy idle causing back lash at low revs.Well....I unplugged the MAF before the cold start and it ran the same as if I hadn't.

Instant cold start and I think, instant hot start, I say I think because I've done that much fiddling and noting stuff that I've forgotten if hot start is good. If cold and hotstart ARE good then does that mean it's unlikely to be chain stretch, worn FIP and more likely to be a dribbly injector or 2?
Putting the fan back on and checking tyre pressures in a bit then running it up the road to see if the auto box works/abs light goes out. It's a bit of a trek to the MOT station tomorrow, all the local ones are either booked up or didn't want to do it.
