Well due to me being half asleep yesterday i will post in the right seaction.

Anyway i have recently bought this



its a type RA and goes really well but when im at slow speeds, say under 1500rpm it splutters/misfires and is some times hard to start in the morning??

can anyone point me in the right direction. I have just done full service including plugs and fuel filter.

thanks dave

I had something similar last week.Mine felt hesitant and was spluttering between 1500 and 2000,but was fine when I floored it.
It then got a bit worse and started idling funny.Turned out to be a faulty mass airflow sensor.
How is it's idling when warm?does it hunt at all?
Nice car by the way.

is there anyway to cheak the mass without buying a new one?

You can try unplugging it whilst its idling. If the engine speed changes, the MAF's doing 'something' if the engine speed/note doesnt change, its possibly fubared.

It could also be your coolant temp sensor, mine needs replacing and is a bugger to start when cold.

You could try cleaning it with some electrical contact cleaner. Sometimes works. Then reset the ECU


PS love the car and wheel colour combo

only other option is to find someone local with MAF and swap them over to test to see if it still does it with a working MAF in it

solved replaced the MAF and hesitation all but gone. Thought i would update this in case other people are having the same problems
