General Lack of power untill very high revs

[stescudo]

Hi, When im driving it feels like the hand brake is partially on, its only when im in 2nd are 3rd and push the accelerator peddle to the floor and it gets very high revs.Then it picks up and drives perfect,like it used to do. What can cause this... 06 scudo sx dynamic jtd

But start by checking eve valve not stuck partly open

Sorry that was auto correct not eve valve

EGR valve

You can Google how to find it on your specific engine.

You need tools and some experience to check it.......

No shame in taking it to a garage if gets too much or feel risk of breaking something.

Please let us know how you get on.

Best wishes

I see there a 2 threads started on this problem......That gets very confusing.

The other thread is "50 mph top speed it used to be double that scudo 06 sx dynamic jtd"
