  1. Update. New MAF installed and the car runs and ticks over even better. Mileage has settled down at around 22 mpg whilst in built up areas and 26 on the motorway. So much better in traffic, before it didn't want to slow down, now it has the proper engine breaking.
  2. What a great thread, this has just saved me a visit to a dealership. My 2001 S was giving P1126 and P1133 as well. I've not had the car long and my heart sank when the CEL came on. The dealership I bought it from didn't help much, 'it's only the emissions light, nothing to worry about'. 19 - 21 mpg (uk gallons) was something to worry about though! So I bought a code reader and did some research. After watching a couple of youtube videos I thought I'd have a go at cleaning the MAF sensor. So for £10 I bought a set of anti tamper torq sockets and some electronic cleaner. Yesterday was nice and sunny so I took the engine cover off and got the MAF out and cleaned without any issues at all. The car immediately idled better when cold and generally ran much smoother. This morning I was getting 29 - 31 mpg and no CEL light after 70 miles. So a new air filter and MAF are on order as a more permeant fix. So thanks to all.
