MAF = mass air flow meter

it sits between the intake hose and airbox , looks like a tube with a black box and plug on top

these are prone to failure but how much are the revs going up ?

The revs keep going until i depress the clutch....if i keep the clutch down the revs come right down to idle and then its fine until i brake again!!!!!

please can i burn it ow if i leave it to keep revving im sure it will just blow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

strange ,

how far do the revs climb to if left ?

a small increase could be put down to a few things like air leaks etc but high revs could be cruise control playing up

does it have cruise control by any chance ? as this and you right foot are the only thing which can operate the throttle cable and of course the CC is linked into the clutch and brake pedal switches
