Get your head in the drivers foot well with a torch.
Look up towards the top of the steering column.
You will find 2 black connectors and 2 green connectors, and one larger black one that has a jumper wire coming from it.
Connect the 2black connectors together, then put ignition on.
It will flash the engine check light, long flash -10s, short flash 1s.
For example one long and one short would give you code 11 .
Come back with the code

Don't drive un plugged fella, as far as I know that will screw it right up, if I'm wrong someone will correct me shortly
Then again maybe they won't, as we're in members gallery! Lol

thats true. i thought if u unplug the maf the ecu would set itself basic mode? i had the same problem with my saab areo maf was playing up summit rotten so i unplugged it and drove it. it had a stage 3 tune but all it done was set it back to standerd boost

Definitely sounds like maf. But don't be fooled a failing maf doesn't always give a fault code, and you may only have had the code stored on the ecu, because you unplugged the maf. I had same problem. Massive running issues after restart when warm. Had no fault codes but was maf. Got a 2nd Hans one and job done. All sorted and running fine.
