Duff MAF sensor, it had a fit this afternoon, so I popped the bonnet and pulled the MAF plug...
It ran better without it, straight away I plugged it back in and no power. Second time to confirm I unplugged it again. Bingo, I used my spare MAF and it was fine?? So much happier.
After moving the cap I've lost the edge on the acceleration, might just be moving it back again. I modified the bolt so it can be done without a strip down of the manifold.:D

MAF sensor has nothing to do with how the engine runs. However if it is totally duff and not sending expected signals to the ECU it can cause the ECU to become confused and misinterpret air conditions. See previous post #23.
