DONE CAM BELT CHANGE - NOW IT RUNS RUBBISH! (Read 9045 times)

DTC Newbie Offline Posts: 31 Birmingham, West Midlands Gender: Drives: 2001 2.6 V6	Re: DONE CAM BELT CHANGE - NOW IT RUNS RUBBISH! Reply #60 - 16. May 2011 at 09:20 Code is still 0100 MAF on the pedal trick, and the car runs perfect - so no problems with the MAF as far as I can see. The car has maybe covered 6 - 8 miles and has had about 5 - 6 starts.

if the light is on, then the car still says there's a fault. If you're just getting the fault code via the pedal trick then you need to either clear the fault with code reader or it needs more like 20 'clean starts' for the ECU to forget about the logged code. Wink

Reply #64 - 16. May 2011 at 11:08 If maf was faulty would we not see fuel trim malfunction? Or ist this simply a poor connection problem? I know we need a reader to confirm but.... .... Wondering if op could be looking for an air leak in the mean time?

May 2011 at 20:22 Glad you got it sorted mate and recognise the absolute need to use the locking kit for correct timing. If its runnig ok now would ignore the MAF code for a while. If you still feel its not spot on try running it with MAF disconnected - if it runs better points to duff MAF. HTH
