ok my car has gone bananas it started coughing and spluttering at the top end and on hard acceleration the other day after it had been raining, has gradually got worse and worse until this morning. It wouldnt pick up the revs then when it did the car was shuddering and popping and banging. When i revved hard it actually popped a couple of flames!! stalled a couple of times and reluctantly got going again..

 

dont dare try to drive it at the mo..

 

I think my maf has gone bang... is this right dyou think or is it just possessed??

 

 

cheers

Erm... don't want to worry you but it sounds a bit more serious to me matey- I've heard of similar symptoms which turned out to be the timing belt slipped or the tensioner broken. Deffo get it checked out properly before you drive it again :(

if you get time liam im sure ryan could swap a maf over for you and see what it comes up with,failing that do a consult or do an ECU diag see what it comes up with,my moneys on MAF as you say mate,doubt it would be anything to do with cambelt IMO

if they get wet they play up chronic

The usual fault on the maf is the car will not rev past 2500rpm.

If you can drive it under 2500 without the car jumping then its

the maf. :headvswal had this happen on mine :headvswal

Cheers matey

Yep, mine cuts out under hard acceleration when

it gets really wet since i fitted an apexi but its

fine in the dry. Must see if i can make a shield

of some sort

liam looks like MAF then mate ;) before ruling out new maf mate place filter in airing cupboard overnight,leave battery off whilst doing so then refit on a dry day,might save you £200+ for a new one
