Hey guys, wondering if you could help me out? I have a 03 MP5 with the 2.0L 16 valve. Over the last while the ehgine light has come on and off and the idle has been getting worse, now to the point when I start it I have to press the gas pedal down and then she fires up and idles high (1200) for a bit until warm and then it idles so rough that the car shakes and wants to stall. When the engine light came on and stayed on I took it to a local trusted garage who said it needed a Mass Airflow Sensor. With 190,000km on it I thought she was probably due. Instead of buying a new for $450 Canadian dollars I opted for a used part that they said was in good shape. It still runs like crap. The garage said it must be defective and maybe my cold air intake has something to do with it. I have had that intake on it since it was new and never had a problem till now.....and what are the odds of both sensors being bad?
Just wondering if any of you guys have had the same problem and how you fixed it.
Thanks a lot eh.
