OK so I installed a new exhaust last weekend with 100 cell Cats, All was fine for a couple of days and then suddenly whlist sat at some traffic lights the engine check light came on the idle suddenly went and stayed extremely rough. The error messgae is "E GAS Throttle Idle Air Control" - have I simply blow the MAF ? or is it likely something else

I replaced the MAF and everything seems completely fine, so looks like it was a MAF that went bad, just need to removes the codes from the CEL and trust they don't return

In fact a battery reset removed the CEL and everything is absolutely fine again, so seems the MAF simply gave up the ghost. Might be not a bad idea for people to carry a spare MAF around just incase as the car was barely driveable without it working
