	Hi guys . I have a question /need some help here. I have a 1.6 e36 m43 engine I believe, and when driving around there is a big hesitation like its holding back power until like 4-5k Revs then a burst of power (as I suspect it should be) come out. from what I have read this could be a faulty MAF AFM problem right? could someone point me in the right direction to tackle this problem. its still drivable but I really need optimum performance from it as it is affecting the MPG around town big time

	unplug your airflow meter , this should either make the car worse or a bit better , if its better then points at afm , you can get a code reader on ebay for this , I used to use code readers till I bought a proper diagnostic machine code reads/programes/tests components etc etc,.

	Seems to run a lot smoother with it unplugged. Power comes in as and when expected! So duff afm/maf it is will get a bosch decent secondhand replacement

	in fact just a thought, is it worth me bothering to clean it out with electrical cleaner ? no harm in trying might just need a clean??
