Code is still 0100 MAF on the pedal trick, and the car runs perfect - so no problems with the MAF as far as I can see.

The car has maybe covered 6 - 8 miles and has had about 5 - 6 starts.

prob not enough for it to autodelete yet then.


See how it goes after a week or 2

if the light is on, then the car still says there's a fault. If you're just getting the fault code via the pedal trick then you need to either clear the fault with code reader or it needs more like 20 'clean starts' for the ECU to forget about the logged code.

DTC, any member near you with a reader that can do live data?

Sadly, down on the Northants/Oxon/Bucks border, I'm not exactly nearby...

If maf was faulty would we not see fuel trim malfunction? Or ist this simply a poor connection problem? I know we need a reader to confirm but....

.... Wondering if op could be looking for an air leak in the mean time?

Apart from the possible historic issue...

Glad to have read this.  Although only have 2.0l and maybe not as difficult to d, definitely valuable llessons being learnt by me here.

Glad you got it sorted mate and recognise the absolute need to use the locking kit for correct timing.

If its runnig ok now would ignore the MAF code for a while.  If you still feel its not spot on try running it with MAF disconnected - if it runs better points to duff MAF.
