Dodgy Idling after fitting TEK2
#1
Just fitted a TEK 2 and first thing I noticed on start up was the idling was all over the place. Thought maybe this is just the new ECU learning...But the problem hasn't gone away, even after a 10 mile drive.
This never happend before.
Could it be that the MAF has gone?
Maybe the old ECU had 'learnt' to compensate for the dodgy MAF and so I didn't notice it? Does this mean I had a dodgy MAF for however long? It's odd to be in a car that idled perfectly, now it goes from 100-1000 on each cycle...
What do I do?

I just took the car for another spin, same idling problem. Parked up, disconnected MAF and hey presto! Idling perfect.
So definately the MAF. (Right?)
(I'm glad I got the TEK2 today, else I would never have noticed this failed MAF and who knows what might have happend)

Worrying.
I wonder how many people out there are running failing MAFs and don't realise?
Another tell tale sign was my car was feeling faster and faster - maybe this is the colder weather...maybe its the leaner mixture.
Dr. Banks, is there a difference between an AE802 TEK 2 and an AE801 TEK 2?

Hi Jake,
To be honest, I was too scared to floor it - you heard how the idling sounded - felt like the car was gonna cut out!
I did have a GTi up my *** when I came onto the A406 and took it to about 4000rpm and it did shift - more noticable was the increase in turbo noise and the dump valve (due to higher boost!)
I guess until I change the MAF, I won't know...Thanks anyway...you probably saved my engine
