Hi Guys

I have an Escort Gti, just had it serviced and I mentioned that sometimes when I accelerate it sort of holds back then decides to go. So I had plugs and leads changed buts it still the same. Someone suggested the ignition coil may need changing as well, so I have one on the way.

Are they easy to fit is it something I could do? Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Disconect the MAF and see if she goes better.

 

sorry mate whats the MAF

 

The Mas Airflow Sensor. Next to your airbox, sometimes called a MAF.

 

and u can do this without effecting the car, what does the MAF do exactly

 

The MAF fine tunes the fuelling. The engine will run happily with just the TPS. If the car runs better with the MAF unplugged you can clean the inside of it out with carb cleaner, let it dry and try again.

 

thanks for the advice, i have ignition coil coming first so will try that, do u know if there are an easy thing to fit

 

Simple to fit, you can not go wrong.
