Saxo VTS Problem

[wrightman90]

Hi people, I took my vts for a spin last night, and it has recently had an oil and filter change, and has been running fine until last night. The car wasn't misfiring, and I had half a tank of fuel. The revs rose up to the 7250 rpm cut out (as per usual), but it took longer to rev. The throttle isn't sticking, but the car seems to be producing at least 30% less power than usual. Any suggestions? Maybe its in 'limp home mode'...

hi mate try turning the ignition on and off a few times. i do this to mine as the engine light comes on due to it being de catd and after i do this it goes off (untill i boot it again lol). i turn the ignition off and on bout 8 times or so. dont know weather it will help your problem but worth a try i supose. let us know if its worked

Didn't work mate but cheers for the response. It might be the fuelling or something. It just seems that theres a huge flat spot in the power curve/delivery. Job for a mechanic/ ecu doctor i think.

best to get it on a dignostic machine, to see what fault is being read. Good luck with it mate let us know what it is when you find it

Found out it was just a loose throttle cable. Niggly Saxos! Quite an easy job to replace aren't they?
