Exclamation Few issue on a long run

Did 389 miles today and a few issues still need sorting

First I will go through what I had done

1. intercooler o,rings

2. intake clean and map sensor clean Was blocked

3 . MAF clean and erg clean

Right now the issues

No power at all below 1800rpm and I mean it's almost dangerous to pull out

Slight wheel shake on breaking (drop links and top mount being done)

And on the motorway when i accelerate it feels like she pulls back like I'm putting my foot on and off the pedel

Oh yeah airbag light is not under the seat but Chris from Fareham is going to help with that and abs is the left wheel area lol toaf has told me


But even after all these niggles I love driving it and hope to restore her to good running order with the help of you experts

Hi,
Two points to clear firstly, you mentioned cleaning the MAP and MAF sensors, please explain exactly what you did, as this is very important.

HI Russel.
Unplug the MAF sensor to see if there is any change in the below 1800rpm, you say you cleaned the MAF sensor sorry to say that is not a good move, you have most likely damaged the MAF.

The MAF as be cleaned by some members but it does not really work to be honest once a MAF is out of spec replacement is the only cure, always use a genuine Bosch MAF after market ones will fail quickly.

Hi the MAF I cleaned with a air intake cleaner

The map I took the in take off
Removed the map (was blocked solid) used a cocktail stick to carefully remove the gunk was all cleaned nothing was put into it further then a few mm

Has made a difference but still dead under 1800 will try unplug the MAF

I can say without any thought after unplugging the MAF the car goes like nothing I have driven in a long time so think I've found the issue (the way it goes is shocking think it's been remapped)
