Title: old running issue
Post by: danmusic24 on 27 May 2011, 08:55

Had a running issue a little while ago on my 2.0 8v…when you hit the accelerator the car would launch its self then hold back suddenly nearly throwing you through windscreen…
I changed a lot of things,lamda after getting fault code,plugs leads,dizzy etc….
The car ran fine after resetting ecu over night…
Now the problem has returned with a vengeance ..
Any help would be great

Mine did this, it was the MAF. Sprayed a bit of contact cleaner on it (carefully) and been good as gold since! (about 6 months) :wink:
