Check coil packs first. Take them out see if they''re cracked or signs of tracking to earth.

Could be tge maf sensor. They cause all sorts of running issues without throwing up a cel code.

Rev guage dropping to 0 would suggest a short or earthing problem.

From your description of the fault, mine was exactly the same, and you have changed everything else have you not?

The lambda can throw a code, but it can also be faulty without throwing a code, mine never gave any code at all.

Got one for £56 from a local motor factor, job done

Check what the fault code is and go from there first. If still not sure, I would recheck the coil packs and also the ignitor/amplifier. I suspect they are linked to the rev counter dropping down also.

The ecu has a specific earth controlling the ignition side so check the ecu earth supplies also.
