It is petrol/lpg 4.6 ltr GEMS It will just about run with the MAF unplugged but it is likely to stall at junctions and is likely to cut out at any time making it rather unsafe to drive.

Thank you all for the advice. I have laid the car up for a while and will not get rid of it if is at all possible. I see no point in spending lots of time or money on it as long as it has this weird air flow fault. The problem is not the MAF because I simulate the MAF by putting a known dc...

Yes, it is a V8 4.6 ltr. I understand from the garage that part of the front axle has rusted badly and it does leak oil. They have put some silicon sealant on it a couple of times but it is starting to leak again. They quoted £1400 to have it re-worked some time ago and it is probably not worth...

The PScan does read the ECM data and I have recorded good Air Flow Readings from it previously. It has a facility specifically for the GEMS engine. However, it looks as though I no longer have that problem to sort out. The old lady has now probably blown the head gasket and according to my...
