i have a 1.0 12v 98 breeze and lately it sems to keep losing power! mainly when cold i will be driving down the road and it will just lose power and my revs wont go over 2-3k to stop this i have to take out of gear and keep revving and then it will be fine for the rest of my trip jus the odd missfire!

its really embarrasin when you pull out of a junction and just cant go lol!

i klnow a few people who have had problems like this and never botherd fixing it but its starting to anoy me and want to sell the car after mot and would rather sell it working right!

i was thinking it may be the coil pack but they are quite exspensive to swap and not solve my problem!

please help

thanks si

iv got the exact same problem with mine mate. does your engine managment light come on some times aswell? I was told that it could be the airflow sensor. If you unplug the sensor in the morning before you use it and then take it for a short drive you will prob know. I done it to mine and it run alot better. The only problem is the engine managment light will stay on while its unplugged.
