Thanks for the replies guys... HOpefully my ECU talk cable will arrive tomorrow and will point me towards a culprit. No matter what, I''m planning on ripping the intercooler and intake off on the weekend and cleaning the crap out of it all. My catch can is a one size fits all from Autobahn modified a bit and stuffed full of steel wool so might even need to go the full on provent route.
Couldn't resist, just had to go out and test out the head gasket theory. No tell tale signs though. At least that's one thing exonerated.
The only way I could tell it was the head gasket was to remove the head had a chunk missing size of a 10c coin from the head between cylinder 3 and 4 did a comp test but that didnt say much as I still had 250psi in each cyl and the other 2 had 300psi so engine was due for a rebuild anyways
OT but I have to laugh at myself when i go over posts I have written when I have had a few too many beers. Which is often... I read dirtygu's post as he had a GU11, as is eleven. Haha!!! GU11 as in 2. I've killed way too many brain cells lately...

Ok, ECUTalk cable arrived and it's hooked up and working. Should have got one of these years ago. It's showing fault code 46 which is intake air. The MAF voltage is showing as 2.77 volts at idle, rising to well over four on acceleration. Pulled the MAF and cleaned it but no change. What's the
opinions now - faulty MAF or something else?
Can you swap MAF with someone close by to try.
at least you can eliminate the MAF that way
You're a funny man mudski lol

So do I just need the consult cable and use the available software and use a laptop? I do I need to get the primitive looking display?
I thought they were a small LCD display that you entered codes to receive values etc.
Give Pete an email he'll sort you out
