You didn't do your daily sacrifice to the P38 god/goddess did you? That's why :cool:

Roger that. Cheers, it most certainly was confused!

Ok got that Wammer's, thanks. So why with a MAF sensor failure does the engine lose power? Is it going into "limp home mode" for safety?

I'm happy that it runs with the MAF sensor unplugged and EGR blocked. My biggest concern is getting a replacement MAF sensor :D Anyway serious question - how exactly does a MAF sensor break? Is it circuits or some auto magic inside it?

Ahhhh Anna ;);) a real Northern girl... before the silly trout pout look

Well I won't split the difference over 1/4 tonne :D And I didn't know that about that EGR pipe, only about putting a penny in the pipe

I can get second hand - I just needed to hear that they don't fail very often. Cheers for the info

Block the EGR using a 1p coin, that makes a difference as well. I'm happy with it for a 2.5 ton car:D

The MAF plugged in I get no power, unplugged I get a very fast (for an oil burner) car. Any recommendations for a replacement? Prices go from cheap crap at about £20 - £400! Bosch, Lucas etc...

I will be lining one up soon Keith, plus tc and transfer box for when the inevitable happens, and on a P38 it's when not if as we all know ;)

MAF sensor failure (the one in the pipe from the air filter) :D cheaper than a gearbox & tc. Unplugged and it's going like a rocket again. I can never remember which is MAP & which is MAF. With regards to the injector #1, I took it out, cleaned up the threads in the head properly and re-torqued...

I'll start looking at things again this afternoon. 6 months ago I did the following: cleaned intercooler out changed broken water pump fitted new serpentine belt and the a/c belt new air filter new oil filter re-sealed FIP changed all leak off pipes (again) oil & filter change on gearbox (plus...

I know the feeling. When mine failed I had a burned out fusebox, leaking coolant return pipe due to PO(s!) using incorrect coolant (front one) and the starter simultaneously being intermittant! Talk about Sherlock Holmes and deducing things! :D

How do I know if the gearbox is faulty or the tc? What symptoms are for which bit?:D

No not yet I'll do that tomorrow. Funnily enough I did buy some MAP cleaner spray and clean it last week. But that was after this started.

I had this happen not long ago to me. I cleaned out all the carbon inside and it worked flawlessly for just over a month. Then it went naughty on me again. Got the sm refurbished ok for a week or so, then naughty again. Anyway I bought a new one and it didn't start up - same symptoms. No voltage...

Mostly clunks - occaisionally bangs. Sounds the same as the old 110's going from hi to low. But I think my gearbox is shagged now....

Hi all, Just asking for sage advice here (from the 3 wise men, and any others as well :cool:). I have changed ATF oil after 6 months - it was almost black Changed the in tank fuel pump as I found it had failed Changed the fuel filter as well So I don't think it's a fuel starvation issue - but...

If you fit an NRV before the fuel filter you won't know if the lift pump has failed:cool: I didn't until I checked mine the other day. Swapped it out today:D:D

Drove round Oulton Park on the grass up and down the hills giving low ratio a work out whilst watching the car track day people red flag their sessions every so often. I like to use the low range once a month or so. The first few gear changes are always jolt jolt jolt at first and then they...
