Can anybody help! Reluctant to start initially, surging badly at 30 - 40mph and lack of power which gets worse under acceleration (feels like it is going to cut out).
First diagnostic test showed MAF sensor fault, replaced this it did not cure very slight improvement, then replaced crank position sensor, new plugs and lead set. There are now no faults stored in system, any ideas??
