I have a 1987 T16 Aero. It isn't boosting fully, and my specialist blamed lack of fuel on the Bosch mass air meter (Part Number 0 280 212 0050) I got a spare "working" one off ebay, and tried it today. Immediate check engine light and lumpy running, no go at all when the accelerator depressed, like the cars being held back. I immediately re-fitted the original, but have exactly the same symptoms! Is there a way of re-setting the system, would I be right in suspecting the engine management system has switched to an emergency setting. Whilst my specialist blamed the original part, it did at least run fairly well, even if I wasn't getting all the boost I wanted. It now exhibits all the faults of the newer part I bought. Would a reset prior to using the newer part be worthwhile? A new part is getting on for £200, which is frankly beyond my budget for a month or so, your help would be much appreciated as this is my only transport currently and I don't fancy the train! Al
