MG TF 160 low power from 2000 to 3750 RPM

Is a false negative of more or less value than a false positive?
A philosophical question, discuss amongst yourselves.

Definitely a false positive is better, imagine being told by your consultant that you have cancer but after undergoing more tests he tells you that you didn’t have it after all. A clear case of a false positive being a better outcome.

Well if a young lady was to give an amorous bloke a false positive, and he continues with his wicked way, then that could land the bloke in a whole shitload of trouble in these enlightened times.

Faulty O2 sensor it was, disconnected it last night and a test drive up into the Blackdowns showed a totally different car. Sometimes it's finding the right person with the knowledge, but it seems its a common problem on the TF and it's not needed for normal running. It comes into play after starting and cuts out again at 3500 rpm hence the instant starting and the surge that I quoted at 3750 rpm. Strange thing is that it passed the MOT with a faulty O2 sensor.
