Dave,

If I'm reading your posting correctly the MAF is malfunctioning in some way, isn't there a serious of MAF error codes that would have been generated

Common error codes generated by a bad or dirty MAF sensor include:
P0100: MAF Circuit Malfunction
P0101: MAF Circuit Range/Performance Problem (often caused by a contaminated sensor or unmetered air leak)
P0102: MAF Circuit Low Input (e.g., sensor unplugged or shorted
)P0103: MAF Circuit High Input (e.g., faulty sensor reading maximum capacity)
P0113: Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Circuit High (The IAT is built into the MAF sensor on this engine)
P006A: MAP - Mass or Volume Air Flow Correlation (occurs when the MAF and MAP readings disagree)
P0171: System Too Lean (often triggered when a bad MAF sensor calculates less air than is actually entering, resulting in improper fuel mixture)

When these codes are thrown, the ECU will typically illuminate the Check Engine Light and may enter a "limp mode" to protect the engine until the issue is resolved.

Is it just a case you couldn't access those codes through the reader or the error codes weren't generated, from what you write it looks like the codes weren't generated? Will you be able to use a reader at home in the future or does that still represent a problem.

THe reason for the interest is basically when I was looking at getting the CX, I also came across a brand new GDI Works Edition which had been in storage from new, which had the 180 bhp ecu and exhaust system, similar or the same as your car. It was your ongoing experiences and issues that put me off getting the WE as well, so I've followed your progress with interest on this particular issue, more to vindicate my decision not to get the Works Edition.
