Got some issues!

[Chris Judd]

Sort of the same as the other post 'Power Problems', But mines with a 1.8elx brava. Since i've been doing the work n my car its been off the road for about 3 weeks.

Diving it for the first time the other day it is very hesistant to go over 5,000rpm. Seems like its lost top end power. Any ideas? Or is it just a case of 'blowing the cobwebs out'

About a month and a bit ago, did it a couple of weeks before it went off the road, I Did the cambelt + tensioner, spark plugs, oil and filter change and changed the water and added coolant. Was running fine until i stopped using it for three weeks!

Probably just needs a good run to blow out any crap that has built up while the car has been stood.
