bugzie Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 Hi, anyone help with this....Galaxy 2.3 ghia T reg... massive loss of power when accelerating engine revs, if i accelerate slowly the engine eventually picks up speed, this happens in all gears, the car can get up to 70mph+, I suppose letting a proper mechanic test drive the car would be the best think but just can't find a reliable one at present, I'm thinking it's one of the following can someone confirm... Clutch slipping,MAF sensor, Coil pack,turbo.thanksbugzie Quote

If the engine is reving but the cars not acccelerating then its allmost certainly clutch slipping. One way to test (though not overly scientific!) try and pull away in 3rd up a steep with the handbrake on, if it stalls violently then its not the clutch if the revs drop down and then it stalls then it is.
