right i brought a 16v today,
started up mint, ticked over mint, drove good,
then it broke down on way home, it cut out, left it 5 then it started and drove again, so changed the crank shaft sensor already, and blanked EGR, thats has sorted the cutting out, it seems to have done,
but now it will jerk, like no power, then eml will come on, so i took foot off accelerater and it goes off, and carries on fine,
also the temp gauge goes to 90 nearly as soon as you turn it on, then goes back down and read's it properly
:meh:
any idea's? its got be a sensor of some sort?

does it idle lumpy? does it struggle to go through the revs? if it does its probably your air flow meter, probably one of the most commen faults on the things!

thanks mate, idles nicely, ive had a few people say air flow meter now, it did have one in 2010 but for all i know could be useless, thats looks like the next thing to buy, and hope it sorts it, unless someone else comes with a different idea, it struggle as different points in the revs, has a dead spot at the beginning but the other 2 we have has the same but they are 8v's

changed that temp sensor, the temps doesnt go everywhere like it did, but still seems like its trying to miss fire, doesnt rev smooth basicly

cheers everyone, i think that AFM may have sorted it, i havent bin able to drive it since, due to it having no tax and my insurance doesnt change until friday, but it revved up alright with it on, i did tried it unplugged before i swapped and it was terrible
