Turning the engine off and on, brought the car to life, but underpowered (presumably as the engine mapping was set to the default one). No warning lights. MPG was also down.
Took it back to the garage where they checked coil packs etc - the only fault showing was the the air flow sensor, so they replaced the MAF
Everything was fine for a couple of weeks, but then it happened again yesterday.
So I'm thinking that the MAF has gone again but that something else must be causing this failure. It's going back to the garage on Monday, but has anyone got any ideas as to what this might be?
Cheers

Two things come to mind.
1. Did they actually change the MAF, or did they simply clean it ? Often times, when the MAF is just cleaned, the problem will recur.
2. If you are getting a CEL code of P0102, you may have a broken or frayed wire between the DME and the MAF.
Best of luck !
