Loss of power at 3000 rpm .- TVR s2

[Fez887]

So been on a good run today and all ran fine until last 5 miles when if I accelerated above 3000rpm then I lost power? This seemed to happened in 1st 2nd and 3rd gear. Car still ran but power chop back at 3000rpm?

Any one help? Certainly a tad concerned!

I know this will sound like a stupid question but.....when did you last put some petrol in it? You don't need to know the background to this question

[Fez887]

This morning and it was petrol! ??

Sinne I’m working in medicine ( anaesthesia anc er/icu) make a good triangeln, I would say check air ways and circulation first😊
Fuel pressure and air, butterfly valve working?
After that check the thingy in the distributor, that keep track of the egnision

Could be a "million things" but I'd try checking the two big hoses from the air flow meters to the throttle body . Any air leak there (split or partially come off ) will cause problems

[TVR-Stu]

What about something like a blocked fuel filter restricting flow? When did you last change it?

[Fez887]

Ok so that’s a lot of checks, which would be best starting place?

Can I assume the first suggestion regarding fuel is not related to using V Power unleaded?

Fuel then air.

Not unless you didn't put enough in because it's so expensive

Your're not trusting the fuel gauge to tell you the truth are you?

[Fez887]

Always trust gauge.... when I am on flat land and the month starts with an M just before a full moon........lol!!!

Will do checks and come back.

To aid ability to sleep or not to sleep tonight, is there a chance this could be something expensive if not what has already suggested?

Make sure you don't got a pet troll in your tank!, they can make a total mess of thing!
