Omega General Help / Re: Loss of acceleration (tractor)

Problem no more!   I had the error codes examined which lead to the MAP sensor. This had the vacuum pipe off. It looked like it was on but was not connected and covered in oil. Quick clean up, reconnect the pipe and now I can lose the boy racers again  

Anyhoo, thanks for all the suggestions guys.

It recovers quickly, within 3-5 secs and then will accelerate but slowly. :-?

You're talking to someone who learnt cars before they had overhead cams! :-? What's an EGR?

More to add, I have been towing a trailer with a good load (1/2 tonne+) and I still get the symptom of losing acceleration but this time it was at low speed (40 mph) going uphill out of a Welsh valley loaded. Lots of power for 5 secs. then no more! Does anyone think I have a problem with my low pressure fuel pump?

Thanks for that comment. I wondered what the clanking noise was! :-/ Perhaps I should change my name to Mr Plow?  

Anyhoo ... I have changed the fuel filter but I still get this sudden loss of acceleration. Could happen anytime above 3500 rpm but is not predictable.
Anybody got any ideas on what I should check next?

Thanks. I have just run through a bottle of injector cleaner but I will check the fuel filter next.
I have heard there is a vacuum pipe to the auto box. Could that affect the problem?

My 2.5 diesel will accelerate quickly   up to 75 mph (4000 rpm) then will not increase speed unless I accelerate gently but then it won't go over 95 mph! Any ideas what I should be fixing? I don't want to use the car's top speed but I do need to rely on it getting up to speed when I want it to!
