Decided to fix it the easy way . Off to the scarp yard it goes . Problems somewhere in the engine management and I just dont have the time or the money to keep chasing sensors .

Theres a problem with it relearning then as its undrivable . With the maf connected if you try to drive it as soon as you give it the hint of some pedal it starts to buck and lose power . I reckon I would need somewhere in the region of 5 miles of road to get to 45mph the way it accelerates at the m...

Just had another pair of eyes on it and he says its got to be in the management system somewhere . Without the maf we get stalling but engine revs smoothly up and down . With maf we get a perfect idle but engine wont rev up and down unless it has gas applied slowly . Other than the maf are there any...

yep tried that . Clock etc all reset and radio flashing code . Engine still the same .

Straight out of the box just like the last set . Same brand and type of plug . I can check the gaps but it doesnt explain why the idle/rev problems swap over when you disconnect the MAF . I'll drop the old plugs back in and see if the problem goes .

The plugs are brand new . And I live in the uk . The garages near to me have code scanners but so far none have managed to read off the codes .

All hoses are connected theres nothing leaking I'm stumped .

I changed the fuel and air filter earlier . No change . Idles lovely but wont rev correctly on full gas it gets to 2500-2800rpm and bounces back n forth. Smooth revving with a little more pedal at a time and it revs all the way up to redline . Again disconnect the MAF and it wont idle but revs up fi...

The CEL is on as I disconnected the MAF . Its been lit for 12 months since I last disconnected the MAF trying to diagnose a similar problem . I havent had the codes cleared as it requires a reader I dont have and none of the local greasemonkeys has a reader that will link up to it . The MAF I remove...

Surely if the filter was clogged then disconnecting the maf wouldnt improve it . Car revs much better without the maf . But after a quick check the filter looks to be quite old . Note on UK models the filters on the drivers side thought I was going barmy for a while looking on passenger side .

When plugs were replaced about 12 months back I replaced the rotor arm,cap and leads . All are still in good condition . The fuel filter I havent done so it may be worth replacing . The air filter again is in good shape .
