I have read through different threads and see this could either be a coil pack or the MAF.
I have had a cold start issue for a while where sometimes the car can be driven from cold, and sometimes it idles perfectly, but as soon as you put the car into forward motion it starts cutting out as if it's going to stall. The throttle has little effect, although it can be revved in neutral. At this point I can either let it warm up whilst parked, or I can switch it off, and switch it back on. A friend in the trade suggested when I switch it on, to pump the gas pedal once prior to cranking the starter, and that has on occasion meant I can drive the car issue free.
Today I have driven the car 6 miles home after parking it 8 hours ago. It warmed up as usual, and seemed ok till I detected a slight sensation of it holding back on boost. When the road was clear, I revved it through to 5k and it definitely did nt feel at full power. I could feel a slight misfire when the revs dropped down under constant throttle. I parked the car up for 5 minutes, and when starting it again, the misfire was still there slightly, and the traction control light has come up.
Torque app is detecting no faults.
The MAF is about 6 months old.
Last week, I had the throttle body reset using a Snap On workshop diagnostic. This improved thing s for a few miles, but now its back worse than ever!!
I intend to get it fault read again, and to try it with the MAF disconnected. I don't want to buy coils unless I have to, as I plan to sell the car this month.
Poo!
