Hi, I wonder if I can tap into the collective wisdom with a fault that I've got?
Yesterday, my 1.4tdi (75) wouldn't pickup properly for 10-20 seconds after starting. The engine started immediately, as normal, but then wouldn't rev and was juddery as I pulled away. It resolved itself each time after 50 yards or so and the car then drove normally. The same thing happened to a greater or lesser extent every time I started it. It felt like fuel starvation and I wondered if I had an air leak, but it was the same after nipping into the shops as after being left all day at work.
When I scanned for faults, I got P1145, which is described as "Mass airflow sensor. Short circuit to B+". After a quick Google I discovered the car should run on default settings with the sensor is disconnected. When I disconnected the sensor this morning, the car started and ran fine.
My question is, has anyone had this before (it doesn't appear to be a common fault code!) and is it likely to be a sensor or a wiring fault?
Thanks in advance, Ian
