You are hitting the rev limiter.

When the EML light is showing the ECU applies a much lower rev limit.

Do the paper clip test and see what code is stored :y

As predicted no codes stored just 19 and I've replaced the sensor with genuine part so don't think it's that.

I can put the laptop on it when you come down if that's any help?

had a good look today and all connections are good.it sound like a missfire.all dispack leads are plugged in.it revs to 4thou and then bounce back to 3500 as if its hitting 6500.i am very confused and gettin sick of it.

remember, just cos you have replaced a part, there is no guarantee that part is not faulty.
