Rattle or Misfire?

[drc12369]

So unplug the maf sensor and car will run fine? Hmmm so if it works do i even replace it? They sem to be £70 odd and with fitting that £100 easy. Hmmmmmm

If it works fine when its unplugged then replace it. Try a second hand item and do it yourself. Only two screws.

Had a wiggle at it this morning, how do i remove it exactly?

[drc12369]

Ok disconnected sensor. Did a few miles. Same rattle. Same performance?! Next idea?!

[tweed]

How many miles it done?

Does it rev past 5000rpm? Or does it hit a rev limit at 5000rpm?

[drc12369]

Its done 148k not sure about the revs? I think it goes past 5k tho not drivin for 3 days now tho

check heat shield right at the back and down in middle , covering the exhaust.

Start it up let it warm then put your foot flat on the throttle untill it hits the limiter

If that is it, you can put a few jubilee clips together round it and tighten it a bit, that stopped mine.
