MAF playing even more silly buggers than usual 
Have you had the car in cold weather before, and if so, did it do it then? Has idling got worse (when the car's warm) or is it OK?

MAF = Mass Air Flow Meter.
It's this doo-hickey that measures how much air the engine is snorting thru the turbo, so that the computer can adjust the amount of fuel to suit.
I would strongly suggest you try the earth mod first: It's a lot cheaper.

Hi,
Sounds like the same sort of problem I have/had with my MY00 (scoobysport BackBox). I've added a couple of extra earth leads and the engine is much smoother when cold now - well worth it! Cost me £5 for leads at Halfords!
It hasn't sorted my warm idle out though so I'm going to check the MAF out this weekend. Anyone have any hints on how best to go about it?
Cheers,
Steve.
