air flow meter
Weak fuel pump? Bad fuel filter? Bad air filter? Plugged catalytic converter? I had the same problem with my Corsa, changing my mass air flow meter fixed it!!
Replace the mass air flow meter(s) (MAF).
The purpose of a flow meter is to measure the flow of either air or water. They allow one to measure the total volume of air or liquid flow and the rate of the flow.
If the instrument panel is not working than its most likely to be a loose connection. This was the case with my corsa. also poor running due to the sensors which i had to change and air flow meter was faulty.
the mass air flow sensor detects the flowing of mass air into the engine while the mass air flow meter detects the amount of mass air flowing into the ingine.
Measures the amount of air to flow past the meter in cubic feet (CFM) or meters (CMM) per minute.
