you might need to replace the coil. i would reccomend something other than redex, as i used it in my escort and it did it more harm than good! kept making it misfire.
always looking for those bigger bunches of bananas!

Mobdeo's are very common to split a Vaccum hose just by the coil area.
Its a small "L Shape" rubber connector and costs about £3.00 from Fords.
Bit tricky to get your hand in there but normally only a 10 mins job.

i seem to have the same problem, driving a 1.4 Xsara...
the revs are at about 1,000 when idel and it doesn't seem to give me power unless i accelerate at about 3,000rpm, otherwise if i try to take off at less then 2,000rpm it will stall or the engine will rev its self then cut out..
Any help?

My gf had an astra that was seriously underpowered and it turned out to be the actual distributer.
But the crank shaft broke a couple of days later lol

Scoop when would a TB ever Blow? Suck yes. Glad the 2.0 TB workd, you guys should know to contact me as I have been a bit absent as of late.
Rob, Once youve fitted the TB remove battery from car over night (Needs to be a few hours) and re-connect, this resets the ECU and it will do a system check. Let it idle for a few mins until it settles, then take it for a drive but change gear before 2k revs, take it nice and slow and over a period of time return to normal driving mode - This will let the ECU reconize what components it has and the condition there in.
