Not a happy chappie
Can someone tell my vectra c 1.8 that if new parts get fitted it should run better NOT WORSE!!!!!!!!
had a fault code for first lambda sensor,replaced it,then found that the egr valve was sucking in air,so replaced that
Now getting fault codes for the maf sensor and the car is worse then first started but not using loads of petrol but stuttering at acceleration.ordered maf sensor today and I'll see what happens next.
Flaming sensors!!!!!!!!!
Maybe its running worse cause the sensors are playing havoc with on board computer, sounds like a nightmare!Originally Posted by wilson002
Dont tell me ,you went to a vx main stealer
Driving vauxhall,s for 30 + years
and still loving it
MAF should sort it (as long as its not a cheap one!), I think I would have done that first as it does cause the other sensors to throw an error up when its not working. When the maf is failing it can cause over fueling which burns out the other sensors
Can I disconnect the maf and use it to see if it is that causing the problem
^^ yes, if worse = not maf if better = MAF, but you will be in limp mode so cant go over 3000 rpm
Update,just put in new maf sensor I've just bought,cleared the fault codes using OP-COM,went to work(4 mile drive) and it was stuttering on acceleration!Dont believe it!So I've disconnected the lead to the maf sensor on the way home and it was fine(so sending the sensor back)
any more advice guys!!!!at my wits end here!!!!
Could it be the coil pack? the best way to try and sort it to changes the parts with another 1.8. I know this is not always possible. Was it a VX maf or a cheap copy?
Vaux maf m8
You said you disconnected the maf sensor lead and it was fine.
Must have been a duff new maff sensor. Try another one.
