is there anything else that can cause a scoob to hunt around Idle after a burst of acceleration?

Mikey :cool:

O2 Sensor

It can be lots of things: of course if you had a knocklink, lambda link, boost gauge and ran optimax with octane booster than you'd know ;):p;)

O2 (lambda) sensor.

Gauges wouldn't really tell you anything at idle, though an AFR might tell you your lambda is broken.

I was taken the micky because of his, 'too much monitoring and worrying thread' ;)

Hiya Saxo, :D

a) Who's worried and
b) Who said it was my car?
c) If it was my car, duya think i'd be posting for advice on here? :rolleyes:

If you must know, I went out with a guy who has just bought a scoob, met him in a pub car park, went for a spin and I noticed it from the passenger seat!
I didn't want to worry the guy (TM "Scoobynet") into thinking he was driving a timebomb and that he needed a gazzillion guages, so I wondered if there was something I could show him how to check without mentioning MAF's etc.

Happy now ;)

Yup :D Just poking fun :) Joking appart, anything to do with a MAF that isn't 100% would scare the cr@p out of me and I'd get it seen to straight away. That really is something that can blow up an engine :eek:

Cheers dude, I'll try and let him know in a non dramatic fashion ;)

i.e no "Feck mate, best you get that lifted to the garage, I wouldn't even risk turning the radio on let alone turning the engine, what with your MAF being knackered" ;)

Mikey :cool: <Almost as famous as Saxo>
