[s-cars] Fault code 2341- Solved it!!!!! MAF

[Mike Platt]

Well it was only a matter of time with all the help
from the listers!!! The  MAF sensor is bad. And the
winner in the great mystery is.....Tom Pollock, who
hit it dead on. Peter Shultz came to rescue with a
loaner part and a VAG-COM. Everyone else gave me
things to look for and I appreciate it!!!

Symptom: Car would idle poorly when cold for about 1
minute, then OK.  When driving car...any slight
throttle application around 2500-3500rpm and car would
stumble. Mash throttle, all OK.

Code indicated it could be a multitude of things: 02
sensor, ignition problem, fuel pressure, and a few
more I think.

Swapped in Peter's MAF from an S2 motor and she's
running like a new car. 

Problem remains: I need a new MAF, or good used one.
Anyone out there know of one. I can't sell this great
car without fixing this.
Thanks again all!!!
