    Any tips lads?

    When I push down on the accelerator it goes to the floor with hardly any revs.

    Any ideas what's wrong n if it expensive to fix.

    Thanks

    First things first - is there fuel in it?

    Not a huge amount, petrol light came on just as I came home tonight.
    Could it be oil either? I prob need to check that also?

    You should hope not, if the engine won't rev due to low oil you may start shopping for a new engine:eek:

    When you say barely any revs, what exactly is it driving like and what are the revs doing when you press the pedal?

    It feels like there is not much power in the car, hope this makes sense. The revs seem normal but it if I say put it in first and rev it, it takes more power on accelerator to get it to get a good rev out if , hope this makes sense!?

    Does the engine sound like its chugging when revving or does it sound normal?



    This could be the longest winded description of a misfire yet:P
