MAF?

[Pete Taylor]

have you changed the fuel pump and ECU relays?

[bunter]

yes both of them have been changed along with quite a few other parts

[Pete Taylor]

Ignition leads?
Dizzy cap?
Rotor arm?
spark plugs?
vac hoses?

[kells]

Yo bunter

as i said before mine did the exact same

mine was faulty ignition switch/wiring...

now sorted and running sweet as a nut

although Vag.com says i have a intermittant throttle position sensor fault whatever that means?

other than that, iv done 600 trouble free miles

[Pete Taylor]

That's the sensor in the throttle body that detects the angle of the 'flap' opening. If it's caked in gunk and has trouble mocing freely it will not be working properly within set tollerances and will throw up an intermittant fault

yeah i know where it is but its deff clean as iv cleaned it very well, the flap operates smooth as a nut..

so im going by the "if it aint broke down dont fix it route" 

but to be honest if they are cheep enough ill prob replace it at my next service

was it behind the steering column cowling?

[kells]

yes took off the cowling, then you will see the barrel, behind this you can see all the wiring which goes to the ignition switch, i was told it was a fault on the ignition switch so bought one from the main dealer, cost £18, but after waggling the wires it worked fine so i havnt used the switch yet, thought id see if it cut out again first which it hasnt.

whoever fitted the immobiliser used scotch clips and block connectors and my car audio mate who fits alarms says this is a big NO NO, he is gonna fit me my Clifford and solder all the conections up again...

in the meantime iv tie wrapped the cables to the barrel and all is good..

if u change the ignition awitch y ou will need to buy a sheer bolt too, they are £1..

gonna put my new switch in regardless, at the same time as when my clifford goes on

If its the same as mine its a whole new throttle body £160 from dealer !!
