Hi,
I've searched the forum a number of times and can't really seem to get any definite answers so hopefully someone can shed some light on this.
The car is a 2001 , 1.1 first.
First and Second gear can rev right out to the limiter. 3rd, 4th and 5th gear, once it hits 4.5k revs for a couple seconds spits on the engine management light, car will then run like crap untl its turned off and on. When i first bought the car it stayed on constantly. I changed the oil, filter, fuel filter, plugs, timing belt, water pump etc and if the light comes on, it will knock itself off within a few days, but go above 4.5k again and off it goes. Changed the bottom lamda sensor exhaust side. I have another lamda sensor to go in above the cat. But reading about on other sites i'm not convinced this is gonna sort the problem. I've heard mentions of a faulty crank position sensor. I've also got another coilpack which didn't help.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Its a pain in the arse, I generally don't drive the car hard but it would be nice to get full use of the rev range if and when needed.
Cheers
