2.0Si Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Bugger me, i did this in the fiesta and it didnt make any difference apart from 15 mile to a gallon, but on my escort its actually BETTER on fuel, and its Fcuking rapid! I unplugged the MAF on the airfilter piping, and it really boots now, its so much smoother and doesnt misfire like it used to, and the exhaust note is different and it pops and gargles aswell, ive been out all night, and you can cruise along in 3rd at 3000 rpm, let off, then jsut boot it again and it still goes for it ! Sorry i had to share the excitement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxdie Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 just imagine how good it would be with a working MAF then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2.0Si Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 The MAF is obviously knackered, when i thought it was the ISCV but that was replaced 10k ago. I put in a tenner from empty and the guage went up to between the 1/4 and the 1/2 marker, drove to nuneaton and got lost, got back, says 59 miles on the counter, and its only just below the 1/4 mark Its just the noise the thing makes, sounds really chav, its only a 1600 zetec but i took it right round to 6k in 3rd and it was touching just over 70 coming down the M6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen this post so apologies for bringing it back to the top but don't leaving the MAF sensor unplugged cause it to go into limp mode, run rich and eventually knacker the engine??
