Excellent news, Gotp, so glad to read you have sorted it! If you plan on keeping this motor for awhile you should probably try and source another MAF sensor, or two, as supplies of these are drying up. Although, you may have better resources of these in your part of the world.

The only two malfunctions that made it go into limp mode and crawl were MAF failure and Needle Lift Sensor failure on one of the injectors.

All credit to Hal! He was on the money from the outset.

This car is here to stay. This car has had alot of troubles but i think of them as a blessing in disguse as i always get smarter fixing them.

Last night tried to integrate a voltmeter into my wiper stalk as the rear wiper isnt working anyway. i've had the car for over a year and never had to use the rear wiper. Too bad the wires are broken or cut off somewhere as it doesn't get power😅

Maybe broken wire, but just so that you know, a VERY common reason for the rear wiper not working is that the spindle has seized in the housing, especially if it's not been used for ages. Even if this is not the fault, worth checking that it moves freely, if not, take it apart and clean the spindle, then grease it - I recommend white waterproof grease for this.

I guess if it's seized solid then trying to operate it could blow the fuse? Just a thought - HTH

Found some ok seats for cheap near me and figured i would go for the heated motorized seats

35 bucks for both thats a steal. They are nowere near perfect shape but better than not motorized not heated seats

, also changed the rw mirror as mine was broken and driver door panel and k got got the door side mouldings, that match the color of the car. Going to get the front bumper soon and foglights to finish the look.

Does anyone elses seat rub against the door panel.?
