I'm thinking map sensor but I'm open to surgestions, clean ones @holiday chicken. starts fine but if you give it a right foot full it will rev to 3k then it's as if a rev limiter kicks in and the power drops to nothing. If you lift off then power is regained .Ta, 30 years on and still no justice for the 96, where has the time gone, must seem a lot longer for the families.Sad times,sorry to be morbid

Don't know why it's double posting, bad day today,thinking about a friend ,now past away who lived for years with the guilt of Hilllsborough.He survived but had the bruise of a girl's face on his chest for weeks after the event, he couldn't get over the thought of being involved with her death l don't think he ever got over it.

Isn't 3Krevs the limp mode scenario?

Are you talking about me? The manual doesn't have a limp mode.but thanks for the thought.

What vehicle, I thought L322?

Give your MAP spray with brake/contact cleaner and check the vacuum pipes? Your spills were gone so maybe same stuff?

Being a Diesel isn't no power the norm?

Get me coat

+1 MAP. Have you no diag to check value changing?

Or sticky waste-gate?

DanClarke · Apr 15, 2019

Did 2 cylinders fall off it perhaps?

Only the V8 has cylinders that drop.

Waste gate is good idea they can get bunged up with mud and road crud tucked away over time. Stick the air hose in there. Worth a shot MAP sensors are too pricey to whim
It

If that's all that's been near his waste-gate then @holidaychicken let him off easy.

Brake cleaner on the MAP is not a good idea.

Assuming this is a P38, does it have EGR? If it does, and it's not already blanked, pull the vacuum pipe off the actuator at the manifold, block the tube with an M5 screw. An electrically duff MAP sensor will give you a problem, but if the car has a MAF, try unplugging it. A duff MAF can restrict performance. If the MAF is faulty, unplugging it will immediately show a difference.

Does anybody know the resistance values on the maf.
If like to check them against my own..
