Strange Problem

[SaxoKez]

last week i was driving stopped at a junction went to go, n lost power in like 1st gear at 3k rpm, thought nothing of it as it was fine all week, n had same problem today, but doing it in every gear, :S so was trying to floor past it, but in 2nd and 1st it wudnt get past 5k rpm, and cant think what it could be, throttle cable or pedal isnt getting stuck or anything like that

[saxvtr03]

it could be blocked injectors mate or a sensor has broke somewear, i would get a diagnostic check done..

[supershineysaxo]

mine kinda did something similar, id drop it to second go round like a 90 degree turn go to accelerate and it just wudnt rev above 2000rpm, foot welded to the floor, but then it wud suddenly kick in and be fine. had it checked and they cudnt find anything wrong. but mine hasnt done that in ages!

[SaxoKez]

hmmm, il have to see if it keeps doing it

[addyt_vtr]

mine did that it was the injectors. just kept getting worse. got new ones off ebay for a tenner

[SaxoKez]

gave it a servive etc, but did it again yesterday in 1st, woudnt go past 3k rpm

[SaxoKez]

did it again earlier, also noticed im using alot more petrol then i ever have done, any ideas?

it only does it when im moving, i be sitting still and it will limit but when moving in gear wont get past 5k rpm

[SaxoKez]

any ideas?

When you're low-ish on fuel, bang a whole bottle of Redex in the tank and take it for a spin. That should clean most of the shite out in the injectors.

Take it to a garage for a check mate.

garages charge too much, only reason my car goes to garage is for MOT :) i do all work myself

only thing i can think of is injector blocked

[CarlosVT]

Try getting new injectors if that doesnt work then you will have to take it to a garage.

sounds like a blockage form the exhaust sytem using more fuel and limited power = cat. i think im having the same problem with the mondeo all points to the cat POSSIBLY so get a mechanice to check it just incase

It does not matter what gear your in - the engine does not know this so it should not be a factor-possibly a coinsidence.

the point raised above re the cat collapsed is a good one but I would have thought it would cause you to have the problem all the time rather than just now and then. With all this water about it possible that you may have a cracked fuel filler pipe and your fuel has water in it maybe?

Best put some fresh fuel in, change fuel filter, put some redex or similar through it and see what happens. Will be worth chcking exhaust as well. Stand behind car and get a mate to rev it, you should feel exhaust gases exiting the system very quickly with no "chuffing" noises.

Failing that wait until it's dark and look for

Hope you get it sorted and maybe some of the above is helpful to you
