lol thats what seems to be happening but bit concerned and when coming up to juctions it just wants to jump out

There is a cheap fix !

Take it for a long drive ! Don't ask me why but I'll make a bet with you that this works. . .I think your little fella is aching for a long drive. mine was anxious in the same way, ,trying to rev himself up . . .

As amusing as this might sound, I'm actually not joking.

As for junctions etc: I got around it with the gears and clutch /

Do the revs 'spookily' reduce when you gear down and your clutch reaches the friction point ? Try getting out of the junctions and get on the highway for a day. As for the juctions / coast your clutch at the friction point, when its trying to rev itself up. Let him know with the friction point that he aint goin no-where without your say so..

hello

no thought i'd ask on here first to see if its a common prob and a cheap fix

will add though only seems to do it when engine is warm and it drops power and the engine management light comes on when the power dips

hello

been on long drives but still the same even replaced the maf again but still the bloody same prob, as soon as i disconnect the maf its fine

cheers

hello
now i have just replaced the maf with yet another new maf and its still the same, so it can't be that but as soon as i unplug it the cars fine.
so can anyone advise me why the connection of the maf affects the car like this. what else is linked to the maf that could have gone????
cheers dean

Hiya

Just had to replace my Throttle bodie £220.00 but it has solved my rev problem /
The old one was made of plastic the new one was made of metal so perhaps there was a problem as mine played up when it was warmed up.
