Right pulsar all of a sudden would only rev up to 2000rpm and wont go any higher in any gear, smoke is pouring out the back as well(black smoke). Also the car is overfuelling like a bitch. did 35 miles to half a tank. Changed the knock sensor which came up on the diagnostics test and still no joy, also put new iridium platinum spark plugs in her which has stopped the misfiring!! My friends turbo diesel ibiza had the saem syptoms when his turbo went!!?? so turbo maybe?:cry:

Do a fault code check. Sounds like safe mode if your rev counter is slightly out.

Probably MAF related, or a hose blown off if it went with a bang.

If no fault code is coming up, then the MAF may need reearthing, or one of the pins in the plug may be loose and not fully home.
