Greetings. That's a tidy looking purchase you have there, enjoy!

The foxwell is probably a little overkill for my needs, but good to know gucci bits of kit like that are available, and won't put too much of a dent in resources. So these scanners aren't just for engine faults? Every day is a school day.

That's great info, as there appear to be so many different types out there. Thanks again for all advice.

Many thanks for your reply, I'll look into that model and it's suitability.

Forgot to add, mine is an '02 1.4, if that should make any difference to the model or type required.

I realise this subject may have come up before, and have noticed it in a few threads I've looked through, my question is about obd scanners. Basically, for the uneducated heathen that I am in these matters, which type would be most useful to have, just in case a fault should rear it's head? I've...

Now those look ace! Do they require any spacers or bolt straight on?

Had an absolutely awesome day rallying the 1.0 k11 through a friend's Olive groves. A few of us went over and had about 40 acres to ourselves, so we made the most as it would've been rude not to! Set out a great circuit and did masses of timed laps, drag starts with handbrake turns, donuts...

Prepped the 'soon to mot expire' 1.0 for rallying. I say rallying, for that read throwing around the olive groves spending as much time sideways as is humanly possible. Prep mainly consisted of stripping out the interior and as much dash as possible, enveloping the radiator in chicken wire...

Read my posts 9, 10 and 14. Gives you all the information you need.

I think you need to read back through your thread before attempting to remove it, as that's the maf.

Will check mine tomorrow, let you know.

The black 'mesh' will come out, it's held in by a metal spring clip, although there is another metal mesh underneath which doesn't come off, so it's upto you how you do it. Just remember to take your maf, tps and iacv off first.

If you remove them I would suggest ONLY using methylated spirits on the components, as I have already mentioned. I did a bit of prior research and was informed the solvents within carb cleaner are not good for the sensitive electrics within the maf and tps. I used methylated spirits only and had...

The maf is the one with 5 wires as frank has pointed out, the component to the left of that is the tps. In the top of your picture, with the word 'bosch' written on it, is the iacv. You can just make out one of the allen bolts that hold it in place.

Unfortunately not, I'm not really one for pics. It's at the rear of the throttle body, between it and the bulkhead. Best way to get at it is to remove the airbox and you'll see the 3 connector plugs on the throttle body; 2 on the side for the map and tps, and 1 at the rear for the iacv. Unplug...

I've been working through my engine and sensors, now have a much better running car at idle, with no roughness and very little vibration. So I'll talk you through what I did. Changed air filter - no difference Changed spark plugs - no difference Checked injector resistance (ok) - no difference...

Hi Serkan Are you still having problems with your idle and rough running? I've been working on mine since I last posted on your thread and it's a lot better now. I'll put an update and talk you through what I did on your post 'idle rev'.

Hello Steve, I've been following your thread with some interest, and feel your pain as I was in a similar position with my 1.4. I notice you don't seem to be any closer to resolving yours, and may be in a position to potentially assist. I have both a known working distributor from a 2000...
