Vauxhall Vivaro loss of power
Variant: 1.9
Model Year: 2004
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Van is very slow/sluggish until revs get up to about 2500/3000 then accelerates fine. When driving all ok then engine management/glow light comes on and power drops away and am unable to accelerate, but if I stop the vehicle and then drive off all ok until light comes on again. Have recently noticed this happening when I try to accelerate up an incline.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
