Wont rev past 3000/3500rpm. 2.3 16v
 

Hi all...I have trouble reving past 3000/3500rpm especially when still warming up(obviously i dont make a habit of this) but this sometimes happens at normal running temp as well. When using just a very small amount of throttle i can sometimes get past the barrier but if any more throttle used thats it! no chance.... Would you go for Fuel:-regulator,pump,relay.fuel element actuator, or any other ideas please?
New bits so far:leads,plugs,dist cap,& cleaned cleaned all injection/air system. tks in advance

How is the exhaust system? Look for squashed pipes. A
plugged catalytic converter or muffler might cause trouble
like you are having.

Hi Vaughn..... exhaust seems to be o.k. & its 1986 euro no cat!
tks for the idea though

It sounds wierd to say, but I'd bet bigggg money on the ignition coil being fautly.
(I have had this before and it took me back to school.)
