1700 isn't MAF.

P1700 - CAN SVS REQUIREMENT

Connected to the gearbox IIRC.

hi,thanks for reply can you put that in laymans terms would it make the car misfir?

No it wouldn't normally cause a missfire. CAN svs requirement is normally read as 'Service me soon' by Vx and can generally be ignored. As for the missfire is it present all the time? Just under load? or just at idle?

You need to get the full list of coes read, if you know that 1700 was the only code then I'd start by checking the plugwells and dispack rubbers for contaminants (oil, water etc.) or splits.

EDIT: Where are you out of interest?

it seems to missfire more when you put it under load,it tics over fine with only the occasional mis,once its up to say 60mph it seems ok but if you hit a hill it starts missing and looses speed

Definately check the plug wells and dispack boots then, sounds like you have an escaping spark.
