I've just had a long chat with a chap from a specialist garage that deals with this sort of thing here in Bedford.
He says that he thinks:
As far as he is concerned I need to bring the car down to him and leave it with him for the day to scan it. He wants to check the MAF sensor voltage and the grams per hour rate of the air flow too.
He's quoted me £50 for the initial scanning etc.
I had another chat with a mobile engine tuning chap and the first thing he said was have you checked the fuel pressure?
Any thoughts? (Kevin et al.)
Do you think that it is worthwhile to start to go down the road of investing in the 1st garage's time and investigations?
He says that he thinks:
- It is unlikely to be a fuel pressure issue
- More likely a MAF issue
- The exhaust change will not be a cause
- The secondary sensors definitley do NOT affect trim, but only measure the pre-cat efficiency.
