Yeah shes got a booest guage the jerking normally starts just when shes coming onto boost but like I said earlier in the thread sunday night she was running fine but monday morning it was jerking again, as for the colour of the maf I think its green can tell you at the moment cuz the cars in the garage trying to sort the problem, as for oil etc she just have a full service 35 miles ago all levels are fine.

 

I can find this out hopefully 2nite about the vin number cuz im going back to the garage to see if they have found anything joz fingers crossed

 

so you have not changed your maf, if not i would,

ebay is your only friend for that sort of maf,
subaru impreza maf sensor airflow on eBay, also, Subaru, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 12-Oct-08 15:23:37 BST)

regarding the oil, sometimes when people fill them the dip stick has 3 marks on it, empty, full, and then theres a hole just above the full mark which people fill to, and some times you get fuel cut becuase the oil veber gets into the boost solinade and you get the feeling of fuel cut,

when my maf was playing up, i could go down the A1 (when it had roundabouts) and from one to the other it would not miss a beat,80mph with -4 on gauge. come to slow down for the round about and drive to the next one, it would be all over the place, 80mph with .2 on gauge, just was up and down, and could not put my finger on it, thought it could be something with spark plugs, but they got changed about 3months ago, i changed the coil pack, still nothing, then changed the MAF, reset ecu and went for a drive,

(Still smiling now) well i was till the maf went bang 3months after getting it stalled, and left me 40 miles from home, and no way i was driving without it pluged it in, but scoobyclinic sent me a new one out,

 

Just had an Oil & Filter change so should be good, will check levels tho

 

Im hopinh when I phone the garage at 5pm that they have some good news for me if they still cant find out what the problem is think ill be investing in a new maf

 

I would asap, would of poss done that before taking it anywhere, then at least you would of had a spare,

so far i care to spare maf's in the boot as Ver5 & Ver6 eat them

 

how much did you pay for your maf?

 

My maf is a ver5 so a new one is only £74 and second hand ones are £30ish

 

how come the early models are so expensive then if your is only £74 new?

 

god knows lol

 

lol

 

would like to know what the garage says about your car, and if they think they have fixed it

 

Just got off the phone to them mate still cant find whats wrong with it spoke to them that it might be the maf but their dead certain that its not. How would you be able to test it if it was the maf playing up just out of wonder?

 

there is only one really test but it does not prove much lol

start car, and left bonnet up and pull out the connector to the maf, engine should cut out,

saying that when mine was faulty, did the same test, and it cut out, dont really prove much,

Do you have any mates near buy you with same colour maf?, as you could ask to borrow theres and reset your ecu and take it for a spin,.

 

still think its your maf

 

no mate im the only 1 out of my mate whos got taste lol 2 of the have evos lol

 

ebay is your friend then lol

 

Right just got off the phone to the garage and still no luck, they got a speaclist coming 2moz to have a look and plug the laptop into her 2 try and find the problem spoke to them about the maf again and they said that they are sure that its not that whats causing the problem surely though 2moz when this guy comes with the laptop thingy if it is the maf it would show up on there wouldnt it?

 

do you have a gay dump valve fitted?

 

did have a baily motor sport fitted but fitted the orignal subaru 1 back on under the advice of joz to try and eleminate silly little things like that but to no success

 

After all this talk about bloody mafs, think mines on the way out again

 

unluckey mate misses foned the garage 2day for me they seemed to think that they have cured the problem supposed to be picking the car up 2moz keep you all posted on finding out what it was

 

cool, thats what you want to hear,

 

what do most garages know unless they got some serious testing gear how well a coil pack is working they prob just took it off yea thats ok put back on if it where me save garage costs just change the plugs and coil packs and i bet its fine wont be the dump valve causing any probs unless it leaking air out under high throttle or sucking air in under low throttle just my thoughts though

 

so did they cure the problem?
