   When driving my car, it drives ok, it loses a bit of power when you put your foot to the floor. When someone sits in the passenger seat, my car kangaroos and there is hardly any power whatsoever. Any ideas? I plugged my car to a MODIS and I couldn't get any readings for throttle position sensor and icv. Could this be it?

   Coilpack, its not firing on all four.
   
   ICV mainly applies at idle doesn't it?

   Coil pack has been tested and it is fine, the car has also been fully serviced but still the problem occurs

   Have you tried a spare unlocked ecu just to eliminate it from the picture?

    Funny how you say it only does it when someone is sat in the passenger seat?
    
    The fuel line runs down that side... Wonder if the seat is on top of it.

    I didn't know that, I had bucket seats fitted and then it started doing it. Maybe il take the passenger seat out and then try it out

    Yeah my subframes on my buckets where really close to the fuel pipe, So good chance it could be that!

    Mate you are an absolute legend. It's taken months to find the problem. The pipe was squashed under the rail. All the power is back with no hesitation. Thank you so much
