Got my new comps fitted today and they look lush ( pics to follow) so tonight took the car out to see a mate and it's running like a dog. Hunting and over fuelling (exhaust getting sooty already and it was spotless yesterday) Had been fine this morning but on the way back from wheel fitting it died in traffic on the M25, started again but felt down on power. Any ideas ? TPS maybe?

MAP sensor vacuum pipe or plug come off?

Thanks I'll have a look later on.

Checked the map and the pipe and the plug. All good. Did find the however the breather pipe on the engine side wasn't attached for some reason and the cone filter had worked itself loose and was half blocking the air inlet. Started and ran like a dream and drove the best it has since I bought it in April. Still a touch erratic at idle but not every time. Gonna see it goes the next few times out.

Sometimes you think there is a major problem and it turns out to be something so simple. Had a bad misfire on my 2wd saff and what it was was where I had been cleaning in the engine bay i had part released one plug lead on the wasted spark coil pack! Clicked it back in and back to normal.Felt mad at myself for being so stupid!

at least fixes like this are "free" and you get to learn something else about the cars
