96 1.25 zetec auto limited revving & loss of power - darrenman
I have a 1996 ford fiesta 1.25 ghia zetec automatic and each time i rev the engine the rev meter doesn't never goes beyond 3000 and most times the car loses power even though i've got my foot right down on the accelerator, then all of a sudden it picks up again. the car has been serviced and i have added injector cleaner but still the problem persist. i will appreciate it if anyone has a similar problem on here and how did you deal with it. Thanks

Was the fuel filter changed? Has the cat broken up?

Yep another vote here for fuel filter or knackered cat.

The fuel filter is under the back near the fuel tank.
