Default Classic owners help needed again :(

Back from Prosport now, after having a diagnostic, the Knock Sensor and MAF sensor needed to be replaced and was partly done under warrenty.
The 'check engine' light no longer pops up, however the power still blips when putting your foot down
The ECU has been reset, and the diagnostic machine says everything is fine now, but i cant understand why it still blips
Will it sort itself out after more driving or could there be something else that needs fixing
Only had it 3 months too, and i cant help feeling a bit peeved
Anyone else had this trouble or anything similar, any help would be great...

You mean you put your foot down and the power hesitates to come on, like

v..vv.vv.vv.vv..vrooom????

After an ECU reset, its best to drive steady for 100 miles'ish (some may say more)

By building up the power and revs you take it to, going higher, using different gears, like 40 in 4th and 3rd. Helps the ECU in finding the right fuel point or somthing.

Mine has started to do it since the blackpool meet and alot of dark smoke too, need my VTA fixing then I will start ot diagnose problems!

Could be your spark plugs, not sparking to full efficiency

Its booked in again at prosport for friday, and is goin on the rolling road and having another diagnostic check, and hopefully that might shed some light as to whats goin on
Im new to scoobys so dont have a clue what it could be, i just want it sorting but the garage are being **** about paying for it, but its still under warrenty so i cant see why there being so unreasonable
when i bought it it was like, yeah if anything goes wrong we'll sort it, fec*ers!
Just hope its nothing major

Well, ive only ever heard good things about prosport!
So im sure they will find the fault, untill then, take it easy try and keep your right foot up and not down! It could be an expensive problem or it could be a 5minute job
