[fahafiz]

disconnect the battery for ten minutes (if you have the radio code)

 

[fahafiz]

why shall i disconnect the battery?

Resets the adaptation in the ECU - the ECU has "learnt" how to deal with your mucky MAF, it needs to re-learn how to deal with the clean MAF. It will do this over time, but disconnecting the battery speeds the process up.

To recalibrate the throttle body and reset the ecu.
when staring the engine after you reconnected the battery, wait 30 -60 seconds before staring as this time allows the trottle body to align. should be able to hear it aliging.

Try cleaning the trottle body as well! prevent it from sticking! Cleaned mines once, alot glunk cam out but looks like new now

Well, when press the accelrator, it then opens the trottle flap so more oxygen can go in. so the harder you press the faster the car will go! Cant explain **im half a sleep***
