my miggy keeps cutting out on tickover some times it is ok for a while but when i stop and start up again it wont tick over and then it is ok again. when its ticking over its running about 560 rpm , recently wouldnt start at all ,did a pedal test which showed crank sensor u/s . replaced sensor with genuine vx part and it started straight away but still got the cutting out problem. did a tech 2 and cleared all old codes , did test again and no codes shown.almost like fuel starvation ,had similar problem with old 2 ltr and that was icv but as i understand 2.6 doesnt have one. Hope someone can help

yup, no ICV on the 2.6, worth taking the EGR off and give that a clean with some paint stripper.
What kind of tech2 do you have acess to geniune or laptop based software?

Drivers side, on a large metal braket, its the Exhaust Gas Recirculation unit.
If he has geniune tech2 (£2000) piece of kit, you can go into diagnostics and control the EGR to test it :)

tech2 showed no fault or would it not pick egr up

tech2 showed no fault or would it not pick egr up
It will, but not under the Fault Read, if you go into the live info section (lists current rpm, alternator output, engine temp, ect) you can control the EGR.

might not be easy to get hold of tech 2 again, is it worth just cleaning and see what happens , is it easy to get at

Very easy, front of the plenum, drivers side, big leccy connector going into it. Usually on a bracket thats very corroded.
Remove, fill with paint stripper, clean it out, then re-fit. :)

just had a quick look under bonnet couldnt see any thing like you said but found another unit that has water pipes going into it and the connector was of that any idea what that is

Didn't think a 2.6 had an EGR valve ::)

Is it fixed to a bracket that is fixed to the inner wing, if so its part of the winter pack for the heater ;)

yes thats the one thanks ,so its not that thats causing my problem. thinking about it my screen heater hasnt been getting very hot , perhaps thats what was causing that

Winter pack helps the heater matrix get hot water quicker, if anything screen heater should be hotter than normal, Jimbob made a guide for flushing the heater matrix :y

I was thinking of my 2.2 and other V6's when thinking EGR, my mistake :y
When it cuts out, does it run rough, then die? or simply cut out cleanly?

yes it goes lumpy as if fuel is not getting through

Does it always do it? Does it drive fine for hours, but then cut out, or always lumpy on startup, then die?
Worth checking the fuel filter, drivers side i think, small cylinder object, up by the petrol tank, should be changed every couple of years, that could be blocked.

changed that about 14 months ago about 9000 miles

just out of interest do you know the part number of the crank sensor the dealer gave you? Its not unheard of for a Vx dealer to give a 2.5 V6 sensor instead of the 2.6.
No idea what difference there is, but they have different part numbers, so must be different :-/

sometimes i run for about 4 miles and its fine . if i leave it for a little while and run it again it starts playing up

still sounds like crank sensor, post up the part number of the sensor they gave you :y

cant find the receipt but the part no. was the same as the one i took off

Bang goes that theory then ;D
Drop a PM to MarkDTMCalib, he is in Coventry fair bit, might be able to take a look, he also has tech2, and knows how to use it :y

He's a very busy man, be patient :y
If your willing to travel a bit, drop TheBoy a PM, he is based in Brackley on the Oxon/Northants/Bucks border, again has access to real tech2, and knows how to use it :y

my miggy keeps cutting out on tickover some times it is ok for a while but when i stop and start up again it wont tick over and then it is ok again. when its ticking over its running about 560 rpm , recently wouldnt start at all ,did a pedal test which showed crank sensor u/s . replaced sensor with genuine vx part and it started straight away but still got the cutting out problem. did a tech 2 and cleared all old codes , did test again and no codes shown.almost like fuel starvation ,had similar problem with old 2 ltr and that was icv but as i understand 2.6 doesnt have one. Hope someone can help
just done another pedal trick while i had the problem and got code 0100 ,any body got any ideas

P0100 Mass or volume air flow circuit high input.
Any other codes? Suggests duff MAF sensor :-/

just been out in car and disconnected maf sensor, car ran much better at least it didnt keep cutting out . stopped for an hour and when i started up the warning light that looks like an engine stayed on . i stopped and re connected maf but light still stayed on
and car kept cutting out again disconnected again and light went out but came back on after stopping fot short time woul d the light come on with a disconnected maf
