changing from 2nd to 3rd at about 5-6k rpm this evening. engine was at warm running temp. total loss of power! thought i went into 5th instead of 3rd at one point! two error messages - CHECK INJECTION, followed by CHECK ESP. drove gingerly to tescos about a mile away and tried the old switch it off and on again a few times trick - nothing! sat on phone looking at forums for info with engine ticking over and got CHECK EMISSIONS. checked under bonnet all visible connections on sensors etc.
one thing i did notice though- the secondary air inlet to the right of the battery, the valve was stuck open whilst ticking over. i was under the impression this should be shut unless engine is revving under load then it opens. anyone shed any light on this please? got it booked in at local garage tomorrow for plug in diagnostics.
is running ok-ish at moment. got it home (10 miles) with no probs. engine was very eager to rev whilst pulling out of junctions. just a tiny tap on the throttle would send the rev needle crazy.
