HI I have been to my mechanic and had my computer scanned for fault and it said faulty mass air sensor replaced it with new one and it still reads the same. The problems I am having are rough idle, cutting out while braking, and cutting out when in first gear waiting at lights what can it be please any ideas? My mechanic is getting a new mass air sensor in case this one is faulty but if not then im stumped!

Well you were right about it being a faulty sensor thank you it worked fine for 10 days was a dream to drive and then. Started her up and she wont hold idle as soon as I lift off the gas pedal she dies on me. To start her up I need to press the gas pedal also otherwise she just doesnt turn over any ideas guys thank you
