Not accelerating past 4000 properly

Post by RandyAndy »

Hey guys, yet another problem :)

Took the car in for a service, got it back and went to boost up the road, got to 4000 rpm and it just goes limp, revs barely climb. Also stalled when i got to my house.

Fast forward to next day, took car in again to get the spark plugs replaced, still same problem so they say it's probably my HT leads which seem to be the originals, so it's going back in tomorrow to get those fitted, can anyone shed some light on what's going on as i'm really confused, the only thing they change on a service is the spark plugs so surely it can't be the leads, unless water has gotten in dizzy cap?

Ignitor? the plastic casing goes brittle and cracks, allowing water ingress.
