Hmmm... Come to think of it...

After the car came back from the mechanic the DME was reset. It drove great for about a day and then after that it went limp.

I'm gonna try disconnecting the MAF and driving around a little tomorrow. If that doesn't help I will try resetting the DME via the battery trick.

I am thinking that if the MAF is good and the DME reset helps couldn't there still be another issue if the car goes back to "limp 1st gear" a day later?

Thanks for replying - BTW

All help is very much appreciated!
