Turns out, after disconnecting the Lambda the idle is still rubbish, re-checked the CEL codes, oh yes, the mighty MAF is on there, so after only 200 miles it's goosed :!: So ordered another one today, and will try that, as if I have no MAF or Lambda then how is the fuelling handled :?: :!: And I have 140 mile trip home on Friday to do.

Thing is, you chaps mention the fact that I have a K&N filter on there, but there seems to be quite a few others running this filter with a MAF and its okay. I wonder whether i got a faulty MAF :?: I don't intend to have the MAF long as once its run in I am going to get a new ECU with runs on a MAP sensor.

I am pretty sure the maf sensor code will be there as a historic code from when you testd the car without it. Best thing you can do is bring it to someone with deltadash to have a proper look.

Okay, after quite a few hours searching and swapping bits, the issue was......a fooked plug :!: :!:

So, I am glad to report the car is running like a dream as from yesteday afternoon.....pretty happy to have solved it

Next stage now is :

drop links fitted
oil cooler
de-cat fitted
cold air feed installed

then a new ECU

Another little update.

Fitted my de-cat on Sunday in the sunshine, and looked at where to mount my oil cooler core.

Will hopefully have another update at the weekend with some more goodies being aquired

Only real thing to sort is the ECU.....arrggh ](*,) , its getting my nerves now, not enough to spend loads on a new Autronics tho, I am way too tight for that

:lol:

hehehe, you know it

Looking less and less likely that I am going to make it this trip, which I am gutted about

But don't want to just go spend money on an ECUtek just so I know its safe...so unless a miricale ECU and mapper appear from nowhere and can fit me in in the next 3 weeks then I am fooked

After this weekend it will most definately be ready to map...will put up some pics of my new purchases
