Lack of power and acceleration.

Post by JamesKT25 »

I have just fitted a new coil and king lead to my van. 1.9 dg. I have driven it for 15 miles no problem, however when i took it to a mates last night once i had done a couple of miles it refused to rev or pull off without screaming the nuts off it. i couldnt accelerate at all even when going downhill. I am not 100% it is linked to the new coil but its the only thing that has changed since it last ran properly.... any help would be greatly appreciated :(
