    As some of you know, ive been having trouble with my car.
    Well ive fixed the wiring, so i can rev freely with no hesitation.

    I think i still have a problem with my icv, as it doesnt idle, will drop to about 900rpm then die.

    Anyway, ive taken the car for a quick spin and it doesnt like any form of load put on the engine after about 5mph. Doesnt matter if its up or down hill.

    The car will move slowly though with no problems and i havent tried giving it lots of revs yet as im in a built up area and its not exactly the quietest of cars.

    Any ideas?

    Map sensor is A1, tested in another car and all wires leading to it are working properly. Earths have all be cleaned and repaired (only the one on the passenger side needed repaired though).

    Crank sensor is a good shout, havent even thought of that.
