    Chuddering Issue

    how exactly would a faulty pressure switch cause the problem? and econ turns the ac off hence the loss of the juddering! I would suggest your ac compressor is screwed? and is locking up and the aux drive belt is trying to turn it and slipping on the pully hence the juddering and the near...

    MAF sensor gone..... I think

    I take it then you have a single point system? you could alway just leave the jubilee clip undone on the hose from the throttle body, this has been known to allow the back fire to blow the hose off and not get as far as the air box/MAF but as you say once the system is set up it shouldnt...
