Hi,
Got a bit of a problem with my MK1.
Decided to give the old girl a service on saturday while the weather was nice....Took the battery off and fitted new plugs, rotor arm, oil, air filter ect.
I could not fit my new O2 sensors because i didnt order a flange kit, so i gave the old ones a clean with electrical contact cleaner and i also cleaned the MAF.
Hooked up the battery and Car runs like crap, loads of black smoke and would not tick over,the engine light also came on. I ran it for a few mins and turned it off incase i ruined the cat.
Maybe bad plugs i thought so i took them out :tsktsk: they were all black with soot and put the old ones back in.....just the same.
Just wondering if i have ruined the O2 sensors or the MAF by "cleaning" them? I tried running the car with the MAF disconnected but no change.....the car is running way to rich.
Anyone got any ideas on this? How do you get fault codes off the MK1?
If it aint broke dont fix it springs to mind
