Ok, since fixing manifold gasket and fitting a new working wideband (plx this time )

I am running lean at idle.

rest of rev range is ok, but at idle it starts off ok and then gradually gets leaner and leaner, until it starts to sound rough.

any ideas? I am guessing MAF sensor? which i may have a spare if i can locate it.

suppose it helps if hose is actually attached to inlet plenum

Glad I'm not the only one who does these things!

Don't be too hard on yourself, Paul

nice rich cold idle that goes to 14.5 when warm...guess that is that fixed then.

......dont mention it...

You have brilliant company on seloc...... I really wouldn't worry, and the best bit is you will never have that problem again!

For reference, the K doesn't have a MAF it has a MAP; on S1 it's built into the MEMS1.9 ECU; in S2 and VVC engines it's built into a combined pressure/inlet temperature sensor that's located on the right hand (drivers) end of the inlet manifold.

Yes and they are generally very reliable, I have known 1 go down so far, completely threw the running and made the engine very difficult to start.
