Mine does this... saving for new ecu and re-map at the mo which will cut out the use of the (weak) factory MAF. :luxhello:

Useful suggestion unless he doesn't want to spend a £1000:rolleyes:
Your year car does have a notoriously unreliable MAF

You could try spraying carb or brake cleaner onto the sensor but ,imo, your best bet is to buy a new one.

I would sort it out promptly.

Black box just to the right of my induction kit with the connector attached.

I see you've got an induction kit which hasn't helped the MAF (perhaps returning back to the standard airbox if you get a new maf may be wise)

yh that could be the reason because the bottom part of the standard airbox is still on and the filter is on top and i dont tink it getin any air.....

so il take the standard airbox out 2day n see if it makes any differant...

thanx mate
