Ahhh.

You could get a good MAF and see if the problem continues. It could also be the idle control valve as well.

I have a PSI 3 ECU data monitor unit that will give fault codes, live and historic. I have a list of codes and we can check.Cannon Fodder as a even posher tester. I am away until next week but your more than welcome to come down to Miskin after the 14th and I'll plug it in .

You can also do a manual check.

Mine used to do that when the MAF went! Unplug it when the car is running, if it cuts out then it needs replacing!

What air filter do you have? I had a HKS mushroom one and that killed 5 of my MAFs on my old classic!

The MAF is just a bit of wire, it warms up so when your car is warm it gives the illusion it's ok

. Beg to differ, dies means it's good. If it runs on it means the ECU is compensating for the U/S MAF.

Back at yerrrrrrrr!

i did tell you on the phone that it could be maff as its running an air filter or idle control valve there can be other things two but would need to see it first as its hard to tell when you cant see it
