Maf,leads,plugs?

[me myself and I]

1997 MK1 2.oltr petrol DOHC

Ok every so often driving fine with a little "hesitation" intermiitently when dropping thru the rev range.

But yesterday driving in traffic it sounded and felt like it was driving on 3 cylinders.Revs were way down spluttering and eventually died.Stopped and made sure the leads were properly connected to dist caps but still no different.Made it to motorway and drove as normal (No hesitation) and hasnt happened since!!!!

Am leaning towards dodgy MAF or leads or plugs.

Anybody with an enlightened view...............................

Also is there anyone on the east coast of Ireland (North or South) with a fault code reader.

i would go for your spark plugs, try the new ones by champion number EON1 fixed all my probs but whatever yo do dont go for cheap leads as i found out, what happens you do the plugs and push on the new leads and all is well but what happens is that the connector isnt locked onto spark plug terminal. it all works great then the intermittant misfire when on load starts (1000 miles with me) and slowly progresses to running on 2 or 3 cyls. when i removed mine the spark plug nipple was coroded as was the lead hence the misfire. i still changed plugs as a matter of course and used genuine leads which quality wise is major.

hope it helps u out

Thanks Zorgman.Will change to new plugs.Lord knows when they were done.Will venture up to Frauds and get new leads.

as well as pollen filter and air filter.

glad it helped.

could you do me a favour please and have a look at the maf and tell me what the number is please, theres a big long number then a number underneath that as well.

i got loads of mafs but got mine mixed up when i was playing with them and doing a diagnostic at same time just to see what difference it made to flow rate
