1.4 NOVA SR TROUBLE

[Jimbob]

I have a problem with the car, if the car is on the motorway and i try to
accelerate then car hesitates and wont go past say 70 miles an hour....
Sometimes it will be fine but as your overtaking a slow inside laner then
the car judders and holds back making me pull in behind..... Can someone
please shed some light on this subject i really dont know what it could
be....... !

fuel filter.
fuel pump.
fuel pump relay

could even be the idle speed sensor.

acelerator pedal pot
there was a thread on this a week ago

Hey man, i had the exact same problem in my old nova SR as well, its
actually a problem that isnt really all that practical to repair, with mine
there were two contributing factors,
one: my fuel pump was on its last legs (easy to fix)
and two: as the car is not fuel injection, its just basically pushing too
much petrol into the cylinders at once for the engine to cope, so the petrol
backs up inside, which is pretty much unfixable.

youve just gotta be more progressive with the throttle and hope for the best
M8

Hope that could clear some things up for you.

Mick out.
