Loss of power.

[UKVette]

Out in the Vette the weekend, annoying the eurobox owners and ricers, when the engine coughed for a second and now feels very flat. No engine check light has come on, and I've checked the Plugs, leads etc and all seem to be fine, burning a bit on the rich side but thats about it. Any idea's before I start ripping the engine managerment apart?

It still see's off a Jaguar XJ-S 5.3 V12, but seem's to be struggling to do so now, and reluctant to rev above 3600 rpm when under load.

Bit bemused why it hasn't set a check light, any component failure should do so. Hmmmmmm.

Any Idea's would be gratefully recieved, I'll let you know the results.

and have a back pressure test done on the cats.. they might have started clogging.. has the tone of the exhaust changed.. slightly?

Nice one! Hit the nail on the head Vig, she is suffering from back pressure, new exhaust needed! Any sugestion's on a decent aftermarket system? The more BHP the better!
