i thought it was just because i used to have a GSi that my 1.4 16v sport felt slow but nope, it got its arse kicked off a 1.2 sxi corsa c and a 1.2 8v clio and only just beat a 1.0 12v.

it runs fine now and drives ok just really really slow, its missing a bit tho which i can hear but not really that noticable.

it struggles to start some times from cold sometimes cutting out. its had new plugs, Idle control valve, EGR valve, lambda sensor.

kinda feels like a fuel pressure problem, any one know how i can test this without changing fuel pump or what ever.

cheers
AJ

definately sounds broke! mine used to fly for a 1.4, would reach 110 aswell. I realize this doesn't help

Just check the usual things, fuel filter/air filer, compression, spark...
