I have a pain in arse of a car no codes no lights upon starting the car after a short journey car starts jerking when revs at 2000rpm it feels like a gear slip however I have checked on obd and came back as air temperature sensor so I bought new 1 put it on and keeps going into limp mode I have checked everything and all seems ok but now I'm getting sick as still getting no codes and just a service light popping up it's annoying I've even reset battery and service light of no success any help would be great

What do you mean by gear slip ? never heard of that with a manual box only automatics . Is your scanner at least Tech 3 comparable ? Have you tried changing the fuel filter , what else have you done routine service wise ?

If you have a gear slip and the car seems to jerk and jerk then launch as quick as 2sec then service light comes on and goes into limp mode as for fuel filter my car don't have 1 just 2 pipes where the fuel filter is supposed to be lol
