Cold start missing
« on: 26 July 2020, 17:54:19 »
Hi all
I am new to this but will try to explain my problem the best I can

Recently my car has been feeling rearly laboured On pull of and up hills and after some investigation I changed the mass air flow sensor and air filter while I was at it.

Car is much better now runs great and effort less which is great

But here is the thing on cold start up the engine is missing not for long tho 2 mins of driving it runs like a dream but thing is this didn’t do this before changing the mass air flow sensor

Any ideas chaps

Auto or manual? 2.2 16v?

Does/did the spanner light come on?

Pull the ignition module and check for oil and/or water in the plug wells?

My first thought would have been the cam sensor playing up. At least on the symptoms you started with and the fact it"s an auto.

But the loss of power under load seems to have been cured by replacing the MAF sensor.

Is cold idle any better if you unplug the MAF?

Get a Bosch one from your local factors or a genuine one from a genuine Vauxhall dealer.

Call the £19.99 Stupid Tax and learn from it :y
