VW Golf GTi 2lt 1999
 
Hi

I have the above car, all was running fine, and suddenly it has no power, it will start up and drive, but it's very slow and sluggish even when you put the accelerator down.

Mechanic looked at it,and its been on diagnostic machine and no fault will show, but one sensor said a probelm with fuel intake. Tried the diag machine a few times and still nothing.

Rev's are ok when standing still, the engine sounds lkie its choking and the EML light isn;t on.

Looked at several possible option including exhaust collapsing internally, earth cable corrode at top of gearbox, MAF sensor failure.

The guy who did the diagnostic machine said he has only every come across a problem one like this in 15 years and the problem with that one was injection values, but mine have been checked and all ok.

My mechanic has asked mechanic friends for input and no-one can find the problem.

Any suggestion, all will be gratefully received.

Thanks
