Hi everyone,my name is allison i am new to this so sorry for mistakes.
I have had my T reg freelander for 12 months and in this time i have had the head skimmed, renewed 2 sensors in the engine, had new distributer cap, rotor arm and leads, full engine flush, new filters, new oil and also a new catalytic converter.
I still have the problem which is; When the engine is warm all power goes from the gas pedal but doesnt cut out when i change down a gear power will come back but once i get to second gear i have to stop for ten minutes. When i have to do this the temperature reading is normal. when i loose the power on the pedal the rev counter shows normal.
i am close to pulling my hair out, please help.
 
Hi Allison
what engine do you have fitted - is it a 1.8, V6 or diesel?
how old is the car?
is it a manual or automatic?

Have you replaced the sensor (Petentionometer) on your accelertor pedal as suggested by Ming, with the problem you describe that is what is faulty.
