Strange behaviour from my engine *FIXED*

I have noticed that I get strange behaviour from my engine, It runs sweet.... read "normal" most of the time, but when I go a few miles from home and stop at the shop (for fags and LR/Tractor mags) when I resume my journey it goes like s**t off a shiny shovel

. This happens everytime from cold, drive a few miles, stop for 2 mins, off like stink.
My routine has changed thats why I am noticing it now, never used to stop before.

Things like this worry me as I am waiting for something to break !

I have done all the stuff we know about like injector loom etc a few months ago. engine is sound.

Any ideas much appreciated

If it's a Td5, it's your MAF sensor that is knackered.

Hi

@ munch, no I switch it off.

@ landy andy, yeah I did wonder, I just thought there would be a greater drop in performance. If I disconnect it and run it am I right in thinking performance will be better because the ecu will use default values rather than relying on a knackered maf ?

Yes,if you disconnect the MAF the ECU will use same default setting. Be careful to tuck the connection out of the of the exhaust or turbo as it gets hot.

Mine did the same. Disconnected the MAF sensor and couldn't believe the difference. A new sensor made it even better.

Alive do uprated ones, and cheaper than main dealer

, if you do want main dealer though, talk to Dan at Duckworth's.

Cheers men

Disconnected maf today, went better so I got a genuine/vdo seimens one for £64.
Loads better now

The one I took off was a cheapo with no name so I guess thats why it went bad.

Thanks again

Good news Nick, glad you've sorted it...

And relatively simply and easily too...

Isn't it nice when it's simple, and relatively cheap.
