Have you given the cam sensor plug a clean and wiggle?
30 seconds sounds temperature related. Worth a shot mate

Thanks for the suggestion, I will maybe get that done at somepoint anyway.

Good News though, I started up this morning with non working MAF and no backfiring or splutering as it normally does. The idle was fine but when I put it into D the idle was a little unsteady as if it was going to bugger up but it didn't, just kept hovering up and down a bit. Car drove off fine without loss of power or throttle twitching etc.

My Conclusion - Need New MAF  :y

Only one decison left, Genuine or Made in China (lol)


Get the made in China one, as I'm certain that's the one Mark fitted on mine :y.........honestly ;D

Thing is the one thats caused all the problems is a Made in Chine one.

Not saying that they are all bad but I just have bad luck.

Really could use one before I go to Leicester tomorrow morning and I don't think i'll get an after market one from anywhere today.

Good News I think we can finally put this thread to bed, I bought a new MAF yesterday (Genuine from Auto Vaux @ £107 inc vat was better than £187 from VX) Yes I know I could of got one cheap but I feel better knowing its got a genuine one in.

Car is back to normal and I have managed to get a refund for the cheap dodgey MAF. Result.

Thanks for all the help on this, just a shame the engine management codes sent me down the garden path with the throttle body etc.

Which reminds me, I know have a spare throttle body for sale!  :y

Glad it's sorted. I've been there and I know the huge sense of relief you will be feeling (plus a small amount of apprehension for a week or so ;D)
