help a new member

[craigy]

right deano boy has big problems with his stunnig scoob, and he is really down about it, so much so he is thinking of leaving the scooby scene, i dont want this to happen cos he has a minter,

first of all he has passed a message on to me to say thanks to everyone who got him home from santa pod, i took him 1 hour to get from the stand to the pay booth, then it must of fell into limp home mode, and although cutting out at every junction and round abouts, a few near crashes he got it as far as ayelsbury, were it died, wimpy, leigh, sarah, you guys were great, i cant stress enough how greatfull they are for all you done for them, they owe you a beer of 3

right back to the car it will start , run for a second or 2 then cut out, battery is dead now due to the efforts to fix it road side,

so the main question is were can we get a local ish well known specialist that can pick the car up and have a good gander at it?

dean is willing to get the car put on the rolling road a proffesionally tuned

any help is greatfully recieved

 

again the help from the club folk touched both dean anh helen so thanks once again

 ps   subaru told me to do this if it went again, BUT drive steadily home!!!!

 

sorry long winded

[craigy]

so if we unplug the the maf and it still runs then he needs a new one??

lol were is it???

 

[TINO.wrx]

just after the air filter box, ther is a lead comin off the plastic pipe, just pull the plug out then start it, if runs then get a new maf

[craigy]

the car aint got the air box cos of a induction kit, is it easy to find still??

[TINO.wrx]

very if it a shiney K&N pipe, as the MAF is black and got lead on top, unles he has a GEMS ecu then there is no MAF!!!

fellas your help was spot on, although time will tell if thats definatly the issue

we tryed running it for the first time today, same prob

we then disconnected the maf plug . the car ran at 1200 rpm, then dropped down to 200-250 rpm, stayed running but at thoose sort of revs tryed its damdest to cut out
