No power

[Cdtgibbsy]

I have recently changed my downpipe as my old one was blown apart,
Have put all new gaskets on and everything is fitted properly
Only problem is my engine now revs up to about 3500 rpm and then it wont hold the power and drops.
The engine wont run for long before stalling and is generally useless.

I initially thought it was because oneof my cylinders wasnt firing but i have replaced the spark plugs and still no luck,

I have a feeling my Lambda sensor isnt working,

Any ideas?

Won't be lambda. If it wasn't working, the engine would run in a reserved mode.. just wouldn't be as good.

Not that I'm being much help, but it won't be lambda causing stalling?

Could it be my coilpack?

Hi, it is not the lambda sensor.

Is it actually misfiring all the time or only on low revs?

Before you changed the downpipe was it all working ok?

[blackie_2k5]

is the downpipe blocked, have you bashedthe coilpack sensor on the front of the gearbox, what wiring did you touch? and as said, was it running ok before....also, how did you old one come to be "blown apart?"

[Cdtgibbsy]

it was all running perfectly before i changed it over,

I literally rev the engine and it cuts itself out and goes to about 500rpm and dies.

Dont think my downpipe is blocked, pretty sure it aint but i will have to have to have a look.

what does the coilpack sensor look like?

Check your Crank Sensor also, may be that as that's right next to the Manifold :)
