OK, start by checking the pipe to the MAP sensor is intact, connected, that both the rubber connectors are not split, and that its not full of liquid.

When was the car last serviced?

Cheers

You have an air leak somewhere, so next up would be the filter temperature flap connection. Is that still on the TB?

The small pipe that runs from the temperature control flap to the TB, plugs in under the map sensor pipe. Make sure its still connected.

Have you done anything to the car recently, other than the usual levels checks?

Cheers

[stevn sporting]

no nothing

The fast running is the confusion.

Check the resistance of the temp sender, should run from 10K cold to 200 at 90 degrees.

Hi PD
When the injectors leak (on Mazda's) I get strange symptoms, I allus try Redex first, if it works I have not lifted the bonnet, YMMV...
