It was the MAF, i had it scanned and within seconds it was confirmed. I got a replacement for $130 and fitted it inside of 5mins. Light out and goldie is going hard again. I also did the air and fuel filters and fitted the catch can. I had a little help there, mechanic mate couldn't help himself. He is also going to make up an EGR blockerer to fit under the the manifold on the pipe that sends the exhaust back around so if any inspectors should want a closer look it will look as it should. Thank you all for the advise, spot on it was to. Good work
If you need to check yours you can use a multimeter, they should draw 1 volt or very close to it. Mine was showing .03- .04 on a multimeter. Or just pay for the scan to be sure. If you ask really nicely you can get a nice mechanic to do the scan cheap and just give you the fault code, the bloke that scanned mine did it for $50. I was quoted $250 from another shop for the same privilege Champion!!!
