You have no idea how tempted I am! :embarassed:

DH, the list I put up earlier more or less captures it, although today I replaced the 1metre pipe from the plenum to the ECU. Danny mentioned the knock sensor. I have not replaced that yet.

Blue sensor.
ECU.
ECU chips for various ones.
MAF sensor.
Throttle body.
Lambda probe.
Lambda relay.

Did it improve after fitting the lambda sensor temporarily?
My old Audi 100 did this, then it went back to what it was doing before.
The problem was the reverse of yours, it held back over 4200 rpm.
Another suggestion, does it rev cleanly when not under load?
You could stick a timing light on it to make sure the timing is advancing, could show up a knackered knock sensor?

so when are you going to post me the self adressed envelope, there is a knock sensor here waiting for you

[DarnPB]

See if I can do that today. Can you PM your address?
