1.2 clio running fault

[MattToTheR]

My car intermitently fails to go past 3000 revs, accelerates fine up to approx 3000 revs then just stops accelerating. Engine management light goes on as does exhaust gas warning light. If I leave the car for a little while then it goes back to normal. All questions / suggestions are welcome.

This happened to my old 1.2 one a couple of times, the ECU is putting the engine into limp home mode I believe, first time the wiring loom had corroded so that was causing some issues.... the second time one of the sensors had gone but apparently the whole throttle body had to be replaced. Cost a fair bit on two separate occasions, pretty sure that garage is a bit of a rip off though so I doubt it will be as bad as mine.
