4000 RPM limit
Hi all.
When the wife and I where going on a camping trip a few days ago we encountered some very strange behaviour with our 2001, scary noise from the engine compartment, reduced power climbing up hill from an undersea tunnel pulling our 1300 Kg Hymer, we stopped and checked the car but found nothing obvious, nothing loose and no leaks, we decided to go on for awhile as this was only going to be a 50 mile long trip anyway, next day driving around the countryside was uneventful and no symptoms from the previous day, then on the return trip with the caravan in tow it all returned.
Description: The car has 100.000 miles on the meter.
The engine will not rev over 4000 RPM in neutral no other symptoms.
Grinding noise and reduced power when accelerating only under load, quiet when foot of pedal and when shifting, does not matter whether car is in manual drive or auto.
No message or warning light.
Spark plugs are new, and tranny wash flushed and refilled with 3309 about a year ago, brand new timing belt.
I know that the ignition wiring harness is a mess and I suspect some coils may be on the way out.
Any ideas ?
