Recently my car has been playing up. It's a 1 litre 2000 Corsa Envoy on 36k. First thing I noticed that when I first start it up, It doesn't really rev properly. It'll do about 20 in 2nd and then just stop accelerating for a few seconds. It does with in all the otehr gears too. Changing gear solves it temporarily as it drops the revs.
Now however, it's started doing it when the car has been going for longer. For example, was joining the A40, doing about 45 in 3rd and once again the acceleration died and the engine management warning flashed. Now this is happening most days (apart from the warning light, that's only happened once). Doesn't matter what gear it's in, it'll jsut reach a certain point on the rev range and give up for a bit, like my foot isn't even on the accelerator. Unfortunatley I can't tell you exactly how many revs it's doing, since the car is **** and doesn't have a rev counter
. I know sod all about how cars actually work and would appreciate it if someone could try and point me in the right direction to what is up with it, how much longer it can go on without the car exploding and how costly it'll be to fix. Ask if you need any otehr details
