where do i start ,i nipped down to see mark to reset my codes on my car ,once done would not tick over very well at all ,mark bless him cleaned the throttle body and still would not go well .
anyway on the way home eml light came on and came to a stop ,reset the codes with my rac obd2 reader .managed to get to my dads in carlton where it has been left ,
Any ideas plz :'( :'(

what were the codes when the eml came on?
-
As said yesterday....its the MAF...a 2.2 does not consume 18Kg of air per hour at idle.
This is backed up by the inability to rev and the lean exhaust code.
Vx part number is 90530463
Alternatives here but, avoid the second hand ones

At full temp idle, its around 8-10kg iirc...

Yep.....this was huge and fluctuating...it even hit 22Kg per hour at idle!

Presumably when warm - seem to recall about 25-30kg on cold/fast idle

I already know the answer, as its you, but for the sake of following proper diags, was the throttle closing (or nearly closing as its DBW) properly?

Yes, throttle position was all spot on.....and I even removed and cleaned the throttle body and breathers to be totaly sure (which were pretty gummed up)

Has to be MAF or its associated wiring then imho - I'm happy to make the assumption that the ECU is fine due to their history of reliability.

Did the same search recently for my car and came across the above. Genuine Siemens part, which I thought was good considering my local stealer had quoted me £112 the same day for the same part, (even Dick Turpin was decent enough to wear a mask when robbing his victims. this bloke had more 'front than a row of shops' and wore a badge with his name on, so I knew who was 'robbing me)
Good luck sorting out the problems. :y
-
Just to say, I haven't forgotten about your maintenance guide, Vic. I will try and sort it out tonight. :y

Thanks Kevin, I've seen you've been busy so honestly problems and thank you !
I bought a pattern MAF (£33) which cured the problems I was having then worried about it, so bought a genuine one as well for £65 which I will fit this weekend. Still, suppose I have a spare now too! which I may 'out on Ebay.
