Cut out at idle on uk MY99?
#1
Has anyone had this? I pulled up at the lights earlier and it just cut out. Threatened to do so again a couple of times too. It sal at 900 rmp for a second, then dropped right off.
Any ideas?

MB,
I had this recently, and when I was at Power Eng Merv said it was the MAF shot as well as the lambda, but it has now cured itself amd idle is back to normal.
Whilst I was having the problems I stuck it on the emissions tester at the garage and managed 9% CO output - nice
Last time I spoke with Dave Power he thought it might have been dirt on the MAF which is now cleared so hence the recovery.
If it doesn't clear might be worth a trip to PE for some diagnaostic work.
Hope this helps
Matt
PS mine is getting the EcuTek TEk 2 next week

Thank Matt, what would we do without the BBS! Whats this chip thing then? I've heard a few people mention it...
Ron, the car is unreal, like brand new! I will be at the meet as long as you lend me some of that magic polish.
