| hi all. many thanks for the warm welcome. so here we go with my story. had to scrap my old toyota in september,so i looked around for something else,our family have all had vauxhall's before we went to toyota's. so when i found the zafira 1.8 xreg, i was . so i used it as i would any other car.then just after christmas it started to sit at idle then rev itself up a bit then settle again. i did a little homework & found out about cleaning the throttle body, so thats what i did. it seemed to be a little better, but now it will sit at idle nicely & only rev itself once in about 10 minutes, if i rev the engine it will not settle it revs itself another 4 or 5 times. so i started to change a few bits while i waited for the opcom system i ordered to come. i serviced it,as i do with all cars i buy. then the opcom unit came i hooked it up & found 2 fault codes p0170(02 rich exhaust & p1555). so i have now changed items as follows: plugs oil & filter air filter & fuel filter mass airflow sensor coolant temperature sensor lambda sensor throttle body. it still has the same codes & runs the same.any help would be much appreciated. as its now making me . | |

| mine does not have an egr on it. which mystified the aa man i had out,also his code reader came back with no codes to report yet my opcom gives a p0170.all he could suggest is that i took it to a garage. | |

| well i have now had an auto tune mechanic out to test the car, he thought it was an ecu fault, so i contacted a company called auto-flash (07500803768) in nottingham to test it. a guy called aaron came & took of all the bits he needed for the test,took them away, tested ecu that has no faults on it at all, bought all the bits back & refitted them, all for £35. which i thought was a bargin. at least i know the ecu is fine, so now i'm goin for the brake servo job. | |

| guess it was unlucky to get faulty ones, could have been worse it could have ben the ECU that was shot. at least i know what parts are good on her now. i would urge anyone with a fault to double or even triple check the maf sensor, it could save people a lot of headaches. hopefully my bad exeperience might help someone in the future & save them hassle. thanks for all the help i have been given. | |
