Hello to all
I have a really curious problem with a 1.1 carb metro.
It idles sweetly, revs OK when stood still but will not pull
Acceleration is OK in first but in second it will accelerate to about 20 and then wont go any faster, 3rd gear and 4th gear are the same.
If I ease off the accelerator it will slowly accelerate but it has no poke. It's almost as if the engine cannot get rid of the exhaust gases fast enough but the exhaust pipe seems to be clear. The harder I press on the accelerator the slower it will accelerate.
I thought it might be timing but that seems to be OK
There is no air intake blockage as the problem persists even with no air filter in place.
The car has been running very sweetly until this happened.
Any suggestions gratefully received or do I just drive it in to the canal????
Thanks
Andrew
