Knackered MAF
MY97UK turning over but refusing to start, replaced crank sensor yesterday & car ran fine, albeit slightly lumpy. Drove to work, went to start it at lunch & wont fire up. Before I call the RAC, is it worth disconnecting the battery for a while to reset the ECU in the hope that it starts & the ECU learns its way round the failed MAF long enough to get me home?
