My 2001 Multipla JTD ELX seems to hit a wall at 3K revs - accelerates fine to that point but flatly refuses to rev any higher...and it's getting sluggish uphill. It's been Fiat-serviced (so presumably has had all the right bits changed at the right time) and has 83K on the clock. Any ideas?

Technical 3000 RPM ceiling?
Try this post I submitted last year, as I had a similar issue.

check out your fuel filter, it could be dirty or blocked, try bleeding the condensation off the bottom first, there should be a bleed screw at the bottom.
My friend's 1.9 JTD Multipla had a similar problem earlier this year. Turned out to be a loose turbo boost pipe that got the ECU all upset so it went into limp mode. Might be an idea to get a diagnostics done on it?

JTD + 3000rpm limit = knackered MAF sensor. Unplug it and see if it goes like new again. If it does. You need a new sensor. Approx £100.
Don't spend any money on anything until you've tried unplugging the wire harness from the MAF.

Well? Had chance to check this yet?
