So, I bought a air flow meter which didn't fit, put the old one back on and my car broke down after about 30 seconds of driving it. Unplugged the oppser and got the car started again.... then went and bought a Bosch one from a dismantlers, fitted that and the car can't seem to make its mind up whether it wants to work or not. Read the fault codes again and am now getting 73 - Mass Air Flow Sensor Voltage Low and 74 - Mass Air Flow Sensor Voltage High. The car is running better but the idling is still pish, it wants to die every time I'm at a junction or roundabout. What can I try next?

See above link, I didn't order a Bosch, got a copy one with discount so was only £22.50

Finally got the thing unplugged, the car runs a little better without it plugged in but it's not a massively noticeable difference... Still doesn't have power but the gears seem to be less confused (feels like gears just don't want to change when it's plugged in), car is smelling of burning a bit every time I drive it and idling is still low and pretty rough.

So thats Mass Airflow Sensor Voltage Low and No Engine RPM Signal, right?no signal is cos engine not running, mass airflow sensor is on the air intake black round bit with square top check the plug is clean. inside and outter.if is do test again without it pluged in.
Erm, I don't know what I'm unplugging, or which bit the air intake is.... Pics would help!

First of all, sack your mechanic. ''Run it for 200 miles and see what happens''WTF?
I am no mechanic, but a loss of power and acceleration... misfire perhaps???
If I were you I'd enlist the services of one of the legends on here to diagnose and repair!
Just my opinion!
Ha, I can't blame the mechanic fully, I think he was trying to save me paying a huge bill all at once! (I'd mentioned I didn't have more than a couple hundred to spare at the moment and am heading on holiday in 2 weeks...)
