My father has a problem

[Baj]

In his own words:
"Fault - intermittant. At around 1500-2000 rpm at light throttle there is
a slight feeling that the engine is missing (although I had it with me
when I left !*) or hunting. Poor pick-up when increasing throttle from
low revs. On the overrun, after a short delay it will sometimes jerk and
then slow more quickly.
No problems at higher revs and greater throttle openings. No smoke
(unless booted hard). Fuel economy good and consistent."

Model V70 2.5D year 2000 mileage 112000. Regularly serviced.

We think it is the MAF. Can you confirm or deny?

is it hunting at tickover???

Same symptoms on my 2.0D when the EGR valve sticks.

I am guessing it isnt hunting at tickover.

What is the EGR valve?
