Hi,
I have recently bought a 2006 1.3 diesel Punto, it starts and runs ok but lacks power and will not rev past 3500rpm.
I suspect this is a faulty MAF sensor. I have read that if I unplug it and it continues running it is likely to be the MAF, I have also read that this is not accurate and it can be better tested using a multimeter at the rear of the plug on the sensor. My question is what voltages should I get with the ignition on? engine running?
and what fluctuation should there be when the rpm is increased?

usually i just check live data to see how big is the amplitude. but i have seen that MAP sensor (for boost) they tend to clog up and fail to measure any boost

Hi,
Consider getting Multiecuscan www.multiecuscan.net and a USB ELM327 interface. The demo version will work for up to 15 minutes on a 1.3 8V JTD Punto, but consider paying the €50 registration fee for full access. This will tell you so much more and is easier than probing with a multimeter. It could be the MAP sensor at fault.
