Help - MAF problem?

SiGainey

Guest
Hi. Can any help me - I'm getting some cr*p missfire and the car struggles to reach 6000 revs in any gear... I've done a VAGCOM log and got the following. Anyone got any idea what's wrong? Should the MAF readings be higher? This is a run from 1500rpm to over 6000rpm in a single gear... The car's an A6 1.8T if it makes any difference :cry:

sounds like coils to me mate, in fact id bet money on it, although your maf readings are too low, but this could be a result of the misfire rather than a cause

MAF is giving some very strange readings, within 2 seconds it's reading 100 then 11 then 100, agree it looks sha99ed.

Any fault codes logged????

Your looking at the wrong column mate, go left one! Your looking at throttle angle as a percentage! 100% obviously = full throttle!

Yes, feels like it's on 3 cylinders when it happens - it REALLY struggles to reach 6000 rpm. Ticks over with no problems at all - perfectly stable...

I think the MAF's fecked but wanted a second opinion - it should be more like 140 ish on a 150hp engine shouldnt it?

CupraSteve - good to see you're not in a renault anymore ;)

Silly me reading the column that lined up :cartman:

Your quite right Sie and I bow to your greater knowledge of coiil packs ;)

In fact in 6 years driving various 1.8T's I've never had coilpacks go...plenty of MAF's and DV's though :think: :D

Look like a dodgy MAF to you? Maximum I get is 61g/s which for a 150hp car sounds like it's about half what it should be :wtf: . Anyone agree / disagree:shrug:
