Went in my brothers Terrano today and it sempt a lot more lively than my Maverick, not sure if there is something wrong but am sure his is a lot quicker off the mark, is there anything I could check?

I use meths on a cotton bud :lol probably better stuff as meth leaves a residue but seems to work anyway.

Would brake cleaner or thinners do it.

Should be ok . I just dip a cotton bud in meths and very gently clean it. As I offroad mine it gets very dusty.

Replace fuel filter and I'd just replace the maf tbh mate

Might be worth chucking some injector cleaner in the tank. I put a bottle in a quarter tank , not what it says on the bottle :lol

Done that,I filled the new fuel filter with forte injector cleaner when I replaced it, the garage where I bought it from said that was the best thing to do with it.

Done that on my Landrover as engine smoking . Turns out who ever fitted the engine run the fuel return back into the fiter and not the tank !!!! I wondered why it was over fueling :doh:
