Ok, so I drove home from work today and the weather is a bit cooler than last time. The engine didn’t judder as bad as last couple of weeks, but did do it very slightly just a few times. Do you think it could be the Maf on its way out.? My readings for STFT at idle fluctuate around 1%, and LTFT...

Hi Retroman. The cover is fine, and so are the clips to the maf housing, the garage didn’t do plugs and coils, I did them myself, and I’m always triple checking my work. I know I have a very small air leak in the turbo hose, but that had been there for quite sometime, and never caused an issue...

Hey mate. Thx for reply. I cleaned the throttle body last year (which wasn’t dirty at all tbh). I will bear this in mind tho, so thanks for your input sir. Appreciated

Hey guys. Every day after work I drive home and at the same stretch of road I get an issue. When slowly accelerating to join the motorway, the engine stutters from 3rd gear through to 5th at approx 2000rpm. Then I come off the motorway to join the next one, and the engine is warming up and...

MIne makes a weird rubbing noise when switching the ignition on/off. I think it's down to the Air vent divrter flap. I have read few things about this, but not taken a proper look yet tbh. Not sure if yours is a similar noise, but it is truly annoying.

------------------- Hi KJBA. Sorry for the slow repsonse. To be totally honest with you, I tried so many things and never got to the bottom of it, I kinda gave up and just put up with it now. It's not got really bad or any worse. It is a random thing really. Somedays it judders when sat at...

..... Sorry mate. I kept asking about leaving it plugged or unplugged, and didn't see the second half of this message originally. Sorry I kept asking this question, lol [emoji4]

Not sure what's going on with that then?

Oh yeah, didn't realise that. I'll post it again and see what happens [emoji3]

Cool. I'll get that test up and running as soon as I get a chance. I'm only re-routing as u said to keep it away from the manifold. I don't want to go up in flames, lol. I have robbed a piece of hose from work so no cost to me, lol. Many thanks again for your help mate. I really appreciate it. I...

Splendid. Just so happens a guy at work has a bag full of various caps and plugs that I require [emoji3]. The only other thing I wanted to know was....can I attach a long piece of hose to the end of the purge valve and run it into the atmosphere or do I need to disconnect it altogether? Cheers mate

Cool, thanks. I'll have to take a look around to see if I can find something suitable. Am I safe to drive with this hose capped off? and do I need to remove the purge valve completely or not? You're a diamond. Thanks again.!!

You've been a great help. Thanks very much for your guidance. What can I cap it off with? Anything that will fit into the hose I guess (pen lid, lol?). Do I need to disconnect the electric cable on the valve? or just remove valve completely along and angle hose away from manifold?

Sounds like a good plan mate. I'll take out the purge valve completely, then clamp off the hoses before and after where the valve was. Does that seem a good way to do it?

By the way. I have changed the purge valve N80 I think it's called, but didn't do anything with the canister.

Hey I tell u what.! I have previously had a code for the evap, think it was P0441. How can this influence a poor startup? It was logged in memory when I first got the car, no eml. Cleared all old codes and was fine. Did get eml about 6 months ago for the same code. Again, cleared it and it...

Throttle body plate is nice and clean, basic settings carried out on vcds too.

Yes mate, plugs, coils are good, changed plugs (ngk platinum) and new coils in the last 6 months. On vcds if I blip the throttle on and off to say 5000 rpm it does register a single misfire on random cylinders, but none whilst driving. Is this metering valve part of the hpfp? It's strange tho...

No, it plugs into the front of the engine at the intake manifold. I checked voltage (car side) and that reads true, 5 volts and an earth if I recall.
