lol i dont either but was hoping of a bit more of a reply then i havebut thanks for that will have a look at airbox
cheers
lol thinking about it right of a cliff lol
hello
no thought i'd ask on here first to see if its a common prob and a cheap fix
will add though only seems to do it when engine is warm and it drops power and the engine management light comes on when the power dips
cheers
yu could always PM them?
think i will do now, using a van at the moment with out power steering and just broke my hand so not good lol
cheers

I warned you about bare knuckle fist fights!!
Hope you get it (and yourself) sorted matey. Can't help with the diesel issue as I've never owned one.
Are there any mechanical linkages (Governer??) that need lubricating?? Or it could be a sensor issue as stated previously.
Regards,
Steve

here's the best idea ! Don't panic. .the problem with correct itself. Don't ask me why / same thing happened to me. I did a big 500km drive and the prob went away for good.
Check your earths, alternator, relays, battery. If the ECU doesnt get a signal from the crank sensor or speed sensor (and some other sensors but can't remember off the top of my head) it will substitute it's own values making it run poorly and idle erratically. With your ECM light coming on indicates it is picking up a fault, it's inconscitency indicates it's probably a poor power supply or earth problem. A sensor needs a reference voltage to work from or, as in the case of the cranks sensor, to send a frequency. If it's not up to what it should be it will fail or be faulty.
Hope this helps

thanks for that
the light has stopped coming on now and i was on a drive yesterday along the M6 and pulled over and unplugged the maf again and runs fine.
have returned one of the maf's for testing so hope it is that but will check the above out to.
thanks again
