evening,

so ,for a few days now the ml has felt a bit sluggish/underpowered,thought it might be the maf so swapped with a spare i have but still the same,

took it down to local indie to put on star and it came up with the inlet port shut off motor,mine is cable tied up to bulk head for easy access after i stripped the valves from inlet manifold,they have a spare which they use for fault finding and sure enough car now picks and drives as normal,

just thought i would look online for prices before ordering a new one from mercs and found a delete mod,just a 4.7k ohms resistor placed between the 12v and signal wire,worth a try i though.
quick trip to maplins and 36p later and all good,did it in car park outside shop,
might be my imagination but im sure car feels nippier than its ever done before,

someone else might find this useful if they've ever done the manifold mod,
