Haha, EGR only exists on diesel engines! Doh!!!! :?

Ok, I've been doing some reading now and apparently there is something calles EGR valve. This controlles the emissions allowed in to the inlet manifold to ease with cooling. If this valve is leaking, stuck open or doesnt open at all (in other words, FAULTY) then the car should show the above mentioned symptoms. I shall investigate further......:/

Well, just as I thought.....the bloody car is still playing up even with the new MAF!! Atleast I can get a refund....
I noticed another "symptom" today when testing the new maf (and later the old), when giving the car sudden and hard throttle from throttle wire in the engine....I noticed a "clonk" sound. Sometimes the sound was low and sometimes really scary loud! I checked all the spark plugs and boots (again) but all seems fine. By the way, the noise sounds like it came from under the inlet manifold. Any thoughts?

Haha, yeah I'll try that. I really hope it's the MAF that's playing up.....I'm getting really bored with this.....

Thanks!

Try disconnecting the battery and touch + and - terminals together.... leave it disconnected for 10 mins and reconnect again. See if that makes any difference.... if it doesn't then try emptying the ash trays.... you got to try everything right? ;-) hehe

Hopefully the MAF sensor will sort it out.... make sure you fit it before the filter just to test it out. Good luck!

Alright good people! I've now ordered a MAF sensor and it should be with me tomorrow (fingers crossed), I have also ordered K&N induction kit and that should reach me in 3 days. I noticed a weird thing with my car today, it was behaving in the complete opposite than the above described problem. It had a rough start in the morning but when I was picking my daughter up from school the car was staying above 1000 revs in N and just under in D and couldn't wait to shoot off as soon as I took my foot off the brake. The best word too decribe how she was would be Hyper! Anyone who knows why? Thanks

They do a quick turnaround.... you'd probably be without your car for 3 days max. Try Ebay for a MAF, its always a good starting point :-)
