Any symptoms? have not given us a lot to go on, any hesitation?. Was once stopped by a concerned scooby owner in the garage complaining of the same thing, his car wouldnt rev to 7000. The problem turned out to be his floor mat had folded over and got stuck under the loud pedal

hahahahahahahahaha that is hilarious

(I almost had the same problem but i ensured floormat and pedal dont touch!)

Seriously though i lost power on my old R5 GTT (over 225 BHP and came in fast car) - when i was ripping it once.

Reasons could be :- busted clutch (that normally explains y the car wont rev up,

Tried to help but you have not given any symptoms, and my crystal ball is a bit misty tonight. If you said whether it reaches a certain point and starts hesitating or whether it will only reach a certain amount of revs..

25% of 4 cylinders would make 1 cylinder so i'd assume one of your coil packs has cracked, you should be able to find one on ebay.

if you put 1 new one on, then 99.9% that the problem will still be there (or come back) due to the old coil packs not runing as good as the new one if you now what i mean, iam sure someone that can type will word it right lol in a bit

its like changing just one spark plug and leaving 3 old ones in
