Iam very worried i hope its not the engine,any thoughts.

Take it to a diagnostic centre and they plug the comp. in and check for fault codes.

Could be MAF or Lamb. sensor , neither serious.

Take it in as soon as you can incase it is something serious B4 you kill it and it costs you an arm and a leg!!

 

Has the v3 type r got the test leads under the steering column so you can do the diagnostic check yourself?

 

manually check for error codes www.jollygreenmonster.co.uk on his help page.

 

All classics have.

 

Thanks Guys for the quick responses,it is much appreciated.I will check it today .What are the prices of either MAF or Lambda sensor.
Many Thanks.

 

if it has been mapped then what ecu are you running?
