Hi I have a Vauxhall Zarfia 2004. The problem with the car is it losses power going up hill it pulls back when i am in second gear and it will not go faster then 60 miles an hour, but it only seems to do that when the engine us hot. Now i have one person put his diagnostic machine on the car and changed the Lamba sensor and a speed sensor which the machine said was wrong but it is still doing it , so took the to some one else who his machine on the car still nothing wrong , he changed the oil filter and cleaned a few things but the car is still doing it . He is at a loss as what is wrong , he also said he could change the accelerator pedal but this is all cost me money and still no solution. Is there any one out there that could shine any light of what could be wrong.
Up hill in 2nd at 60 sounds more like you're running out of gear than power?
As mentioned below; This comment is based on my inability to decipher the block of text above; The key sentence being:

I truly am trying to offer comment, but it's very difficult to understand what you are writing.

There is no such car as a Vauxhall Zarfia.The car doesn't "losses power" but it could be that it loses power.
It won't "go faster then 60", what about will it go faster than 60?
It only does it when it "us hot", what about when it is hot?
Cars don't have "Lamba sensors" they have Lambda sensors.
That is just the biggest errors in the first 2 lines, never mind the grammar or sentence construction. If you want us to understand what you are trying to describe get your facts right & try buying another spell-checker as your last one has hit the escape button!

Ok.Lenward said:
it losses power- engine us hot - Now i have one person put his diagnostic machine on the car and changed the Lamba - so took the to some one else who his machine
So it be on to this? 
Power loss when warm, sounds like some sort of temperature sensor acting up. The lambda sensor is a good guess, coolant sensor, inlet sensor?

We suddenly appear to have a number of new posters with spelling issues...
I wouldn't read anything into this. I've just re-let one of my properties - via an agency - reasonably high-end location and price. I was surprised how many candidates they had. The agency asked all potential candidates to write a brief description of their family situation, and why the property interested them.They then sent them through to me for my opinion. There was only one which was decently-written, with paragraphs and correct spelling. Easy choice!

Same criteria as my late mother & her business partner used when letting out their flats.They then sent them through to me for my opinion. There was only one which was decently-written, with paragraphs and correct spelling. Easy choice!
In all the years they had them they only had one odd tenant - no issues with rent etc just disappeared leaving a lot of stuff incl clothing behind. Never did find out what had happened.
