Reccently while drive my soarer home.. ( UZZ31.. Reepas old car ) I felt a sudden loss off power. pulled over to find the car sounded like it was running on about 4 cylinders. I drove it home, but slowly, as there was a massive lack of power, and was running really rich. Took it to the mechs, no error codes came up on there scan tool. Tt appeared the leads where arcing across one another, so first they were replaced, as where the plugs. No change. So Next was timing belt, witch was a notch out. while that was being replaced my mechanic noticed the rotor buttons where cracked badly, so replaced them also. Still no change.
So anyone had similar problems and know what the problem might be?
Also, after it happened, when u rev the car above about 2200rpm, the tacho line goes backwards and then vanishes but the car keeps revving.. any help would be much appriciated, Thanks
