wont rev freelee??

[MikeVTST]

i have a saxo vts on a w reg, car seems to be struggling to rev out, gets very slow after 5k ??? any ideas, its only on 55k

[Narbar]

first thing i would think of is has it been serviced recently, fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs and so on?

[Coonper]

Air filter could be blocked, or maybe the piping that leads from filetr to throttle body.

Thats the 1st thing to check.

oil in the car looks new an it has standard air box, ill try the plugs etc

Yes it might well have a standard air box, but its still got a filter in it! Lol

Best thing to do would be to take the filter out and run it. But dont do it when its raining or if its dusty!

That way you can rule out the air filter.

well i found out the cause to the loss of power, took it to a friends of mine who is a mechanic an he revved it up an it wouldnt really go past 5k, then he jacked it up had a look, then dropped it back down started it up an just revved the bollocks outta it, next minute BANG!!!!! smoke everywhere i couldnt see the car for brown grey smoke, when it cleared the car was MINT an revs quicker an cleaner than ever, turns out the cat was fucked an blocked, think the car has been driven like a granny since new

thanks to all who helped !!
