Title: cars a bit grumpy ?
Post by: Dalo Harkin on 16 October 2009, 18:48

Hi everyone,

I had an issue a few weeks ago as the engine was 'searching' a bit in terms of the revs and I had a read on here and on something it said unplug the MAF and see if it gets better, I did that and it did get better, so thought ok must be the MAF so bought one today and fitted it and it still does the same thing, any ideas?

It seems to be holding boost is there anything else that could cause it to be grumpy?

you tried cleaning the throttle body? if you mean the revs going up and down a bit at idle

Did you buy a genuine MAF after market ones can be as bad as the one you take off.

All sorted, cleaned the throttle body and all ok now, so I have a spare MAF  :laugh:
