is there any way i can test the car to see if it can rev up, ie remove the manifold to see if it revs up with the full exhaust incl, cat & o2 sensor not there.. or does that sound stupid :?

if not i'll try unplugging the o2 sensor as above, though keep the sugestions coming please



thanks

i didnt do much, i just had to move the car with clutch control gave it a little bit of revs and away it went,

a few weeks before it broke down i had a slight bump on the right hand side, this could be why, its too wet to check now but i'll have it looked at soon thankss
