ford escort 1995 1.6 si
brought it last night from auction seemed ok till driving home.
This is what happens if i lightly touch the accelerator it will drive if i say go over 2000rpm i get loss of power and a restricting type of noise from the exhaust it is also very hard the get up hills.The car will rev ok when clutch is down.
I only got it late last night so i havent even lifted the bonnet yet as it was dark. the clutch and gear box are fine no smoke from exhaust.
I suspect the air flow could be blocked or something is blocking flow though the exhaust (cat broken)
I am nvq level 1 trained in mechanics so not to good on diagnosis yet so i could do with a little help to get me on my way.
i'll have a tinker tonight and try whatever you guys can surgest.
thanks neil
