    i have a skoda fabia 2001 1.4 petrol, late last night while driving home i was stopped at a traffic light and when i went to move off and there was no power from the car,after changing into second gear i was still moving very slow(less than 20 mph) and the revs were very high and if i ease off accelerator and put it back on the revs drop slightly then car might pick up a little bit, once i get into fourth gear the car will be grand until i get going again.any idea's on what might cause this and how much it may cost me?thanks
