My 80 sport has a loss of power when accelerating, the engine revs ok when static but on the move loses power it no longer gives you the confidence to overtake and struggles up hill. any ideas?

My car has the exact same problem. Seems like sometimes it's only got 70 hp or something.

So far I've bought new: spark plugs, plug cables, distr.lid+rotor, lambda-probe and both watertemp-sensors ++...with no luck... :zx11:

Just fixed mine after replacing the lambada probe and cat 4 weeks ago
found problem today code reader was still showing probe and active charcoal filter solenoid as i was checking fuse box some pratt :D last owner maybe had removed the fuse to the probe heater and solenoid, thinking it was one of the spare fuses, worth checking.
