Default Blanket repair fail...

Had the tools out yesterday & done a pretty much blanket repair on the fueling sensors - coolant temp & O2 sensors with new plugs, along with the MAF last week.

The problem has become worse ...

This morning when cold it really struggled to start & smelt of fuel once it did - was running poorly for around 2 miles & then once warm she was back on form.

Can a dodgy MAF cause this as the cold start issue only arouse after fitting it ?

Thing is, I am 99% sure my old MAF was failing as it drives much better when warm & up through the gears it feels & sounds better than it ever did...

Any advice most welcome

Car is a Std UK MY00 Turbo.

Cheers guys,

Think the coil & leads are about the only things I haven't replaced !

Was just a bit confusing as the cold start/over fueling when cold only started when put MAF on
