    Question fault code 2-3-2

    been getting this flaming code up periodically for some time, have got the gizmo under bonnet behind drivers headlight to cancel it etc. but it's really boring me now and really want to sort it. doesn't seem to be the usual suspect i.e.:- the elbow on left of manifold etc someone said a while back there is another elbow but couldn't remember where so if anybody has any pointers or tips on this would be grateful it happens both on lpg and petrol so i guess a fault with car as opposed to one with an individual fuel supply? cheers Gareth

    Its long term fuel trim, check all of the vac hoses, especially round the vac tree

    Rubber elbows would be the favourite to check, they have a habbit of splitting.

    Well it's been a while lol. But!!! i think i may have sorted it? can it be? been just living with it for ever and ever was'nt prepared to spend money on guesses. Anyway after investigating more found a few vids on youtube how to test MAF sensor it was allways the same 2-3-2 code now dunno if i was just lucky hmm doubt that or it was just coincidence dunno but gave the plug and socket on MAF sensor a good blasting out with contact cleaner/brake cleaner and so far no more 2-3-2 done about 100 miles and am certain light would've come on by now fingers crossed yayyyyyyyyy got there in the end. ;-)

    yes checked all them more than once. the spray inside the plug and socket connector of MAF seems to have done it no idea why, but aint had the 2-3-2 for at least 100 miles quite unusual light being on has never noticeably cause a problem in the running just the light being on just gets on my t**s ;-) time will tell i guess
