hi everyone i went to the shops in my 156 sportswagon 1.6ts and when i came out of the shop and started it, the car wouldnt stay running only if you press the throttle and keep the revs up that way.
when i got home the car idled on its own but lumpy, it then dropped then came back up and fluxtuating,
as soon as you dip the clutch when approching to a junction it dies

it would be much appreciated if someone could help
thank you very much for taking time too read this

THANKS VERY MUCH

MAF (Mass airflow) Sensor gone. Try unplugging it and start the car ... it should idle smoothly (don't drive the car with the MAF unplugged!) .

idle

hi there thanks very much for the reply, the car idles but when you rev, the revs drop way below the 1000rpm mark doesnt cut out but it borks when it drops but then the idle comes back up
its stopped cutting out but its still drops to far then comes back up as if it was going to stall
thanks very much for your help i really appreciate all your help
thanks dovo:thumbs:

Check the intake hosing for tightness & splits / cracks - my understanding is that when the MAF is unplugged the idle will be rough anyway...

I would expect a hole / split after the MAF to cause your symptoms although a hole in the airbox ain't good
