Thanks for that NF. Just had a look at old topics and it points towards the MAF being at fault. :(

Cars knackered manny i'll take it off your hands for you, but only if you wash it first ;D ;D ;D

On a serious note sounds like you need to squit a bit of carb cleaner around that egine bay to check for leaks befire you start splashing out on a new MAF sensor :y

Its a deal :D. I dont think its an air leak. I put hand over air intake but not enough to stall it. There was no sign of a leak. Ive got a piper cross air filter on it and im thinking could this be the problem?

Could be oil from the filter contaminating the MAF :(
