[pritchard-89]

basicly my clio 172 has lost a LOT of power i meen i go up againts another 172 and its no were to be seen thats how slow mine is! Basicly feels like im driving a 106 quiksilver wich is a 1.4!!! my friend has a saxo 1.6 vtr around 98bhp and i cannot even go past him?!!?!? i have been told its the coil pack also front and rear lamda sensors come up when it was plugged in so can the coil pack and lambda sensors cause it to loose this much power? its realy irritating and very head scratching! problems are below THANKS!

car holds back
exhaust goes puf puf puf insted of vrrrrr lol
engine a bit noisy
STOP light and handbreak light flickers when i boot it

I also seen this yesterday!! if no one answers theres no need to duplicate the thread lol.....

Due to the noise etc i would say either exhaust problem,ignition or balls'd up timing.

Plus hope you were on a track whilst you were attempting to race a Saxo

check your sparks, coil pack, fuel filter, timing belt or lamba sensor
