Took this rangie to my local Nationwide autocentre who took a look and said
"We think it's the air mass sensor, but we can't test it"
Took it to my local Franchised Non Franchise Specialist (go figure - owned
by a franchise, staffed by the same guys, doesn't actually have a franchise
itself and costs half as much)
They took it to bits, bridged out various sensors under the bonnet which
made no difference to the running and suggested it was probably an ECU
fault, but they didn't have a good 4CU to test against.
So, I go prodding around to figure out how difficult the ECU would be to
replace (not very as it turns out) and accidentally dislodge the multiplug
from it. Plug it back in and get in the car.
It's not misfiring. It's not hunting, it's not blowing vast clouds of smoke.
Could it really all have just been a connector fault into the ECU? Would be
nice if it was, but I'd have hoped that somebody else would have checked
that.
