Won't rev past 2000rpm under load
Hi all. I'm having a problem where the capri is revving fine when idle but under load it doesn't want to rev past around 2500prm. Before I start panicking (MOT coming up) is there anything I should be looking out for.

Ignition first but if that can't cure it suspect choke flaps (ooh err) stuck in closed position.

Just in case, I'll throw in binding brakes.

Faulty rev counter

Re: Won't rev past 2000rpm under load
I think it is solved now. It seems that the butterfly flaps were sticking slightly. It's still not great on power but then again it could do with a half decent tune up so i'm sure all will be fine. Got it MOT'd today and it is finally back on the road.
