00 Fiesta sluggish acceleration

Alan_007_ · 2014-12-17 13:47:23

Recently I've noticed that my fiesta has no power after around 3000-4000 revs when trying to overtake....I've checked for a sticking caliper and I don't think it's that...I'm thinking it might be something to do with the spark plugs or plug leads, would anybody have any ideas what else it could be?

I've had a coil pack and a coil-over unit pop on two different cars in the last few years. This sort of thing happens with the best servicing in the world.

What gives you that impression?
Oil, oil filter and air filter are changed every 6000-8000 miles.
Spark plugs were last changed approximately 30000 miles ago.
