the car to a garage who ran diagnostic test by plugging into the ECU, and they found no fault. - I've checked hoses and breather tubes - no leaks observed currently. Could this be anything to do with a Mass Airflow Sensor ? I welcome any suggestions to get to the bottom of this problem. {edited -

ford mondeo mk2 1800 - mondeo idle/emissions & brake pedal travel problem 22 Mar 2011 (Forum)
this is as the temp gauge doesn't work!) but after driving for about 5 mins, the idle speed goes back up to 1200-1500. i've rea that this could be the cat or lambda sensor, or maf, or ecu temp sender or anything really, but don't want to be changing everything just to see - what could be the most likely -

of my kin in their Kia's, Clio's etc. Any thoughts. Can the fuel economy be reduced by 25% just because it isn't bedded in? How long has your Kia taken to "bed in". Anyone actually gone back to a Kia dealer and they found a problem with the fuel system or ECU or sensors etc. Cheers Stevie G -
