Possible overfueling. Scan OBD and live data on oxygen sensors

Bruce. The details are Here (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/cleanmaf.htm). The answer is Carb cleaner. Please note there is no mention of using a hammer, crowbar or similar. ::) The most important thing is DO NOT TOUCH the filament. Just use the spray to get it clean. ;D I guess your problem is probably an air leak as suggested by Scorpio.
