now could this me icing of air filter of any thing like this

i now your all going to say problay maf but just wondering
as i suspect the air filter i got from vauxworld was not an oem one as he stated  just a crappy wight box job like his noisy barke linings i got of him as well

oh one other thing iv changed rad and it takes longer for car to warm up on temp gage heater still working as normall
and other day when left ideling  for a time aftera drive was runing at half way then went back to about 80 or just below once i started moving agine just in case this is of help

thanks for any help the wife will be happy as it her car and it means iv not got to get my beloved 150 sri vecy out in cold and ice and no as much fun to drive with out traction
nothing like screing life out of wife and kid by snow drifting lol

Unplug MAF and see if it runs any better...........and never try to clean the MAF sensor with anything..........doesn`t do sod all apart from bugger it up

[peterm]

one qwestion if i plug my code redaer in and not have mad pluged in can i put light out and will it stay out
i now a bit dippy but you just have to ask in case

[Kneepad]

No, if you clear the code it will come back. Light will stay on.

[peterm]

worth a try

just wondering if my vect 2.2 has sak maf will have to look
as i can swap em out that will answer qwestion if it has
 am thinking the on on it is not an origanall as iv not seen a part nuber on it ans no makers mars let alone a bar code
may be a cheapo

[peterm]
