So i waited till it was really dark and went out with my unplugged MAF and spread soot around the airport like Concorde had just taken off. Initially i thought yep there's definitely an improvement here, bottom end pick up much quicker and smoother. Maybe i was less inhibited because i couldn't see the smoke. So i did about 10 miles around the motorway and then pulled off and plugged it back in. Well maybe there wasn't that much difference but still have a niggling doubt it ain't right. So then i really went for the driving continuously at high revs, stuck it in 4th and constantly accelerated up and down from 3000 to 4500, fortunately there wasn't that much traffic about and the M25 has lots of lanes. When i got on to the 2nd loop it freed off and the torque came back for a bit, back to demolishing the 80+ acceleration, but it didn't last. I probably did 50 or 60 miles like this up and down the motorway and it felt better by the end of it, and i was beginning to get concerned i would attract attention from the smoke and 3 figure speeds. By the end it was just smoking if i accelerated hard,but i could do more smoke free than than previously. Coming back into town i was able to pull away from the lights relatively smoke free but not very quick, theres no torque at the bottom end still. The back of the car looks like the inside of a chimney sweeps bag this morning, and its still smoking. Going out this evening so will have another furtle about tomorrow.
PS whats a mityvac and where do i get one?
