Had a 2.2 like that round here once. Plugs where arcing. Fine at low revs pootling about, but press the throttle and it cut the power like an off switch.

New plugs fixed it, but see what others say.

Rev counter wouldn't go up though?

When you say the car has lag, does the engine speed increase as the rev counter rises? In other words, is the gearbox slipping?

If the revs go up with the rev counter, and it's not clutch slip, then the car should be accelerating, yet your description implies it dies on power?

Did Perry's read engine codes? Any fault codes?

Check the ATF level ... an auto with low fluid gives the impression of "clutch slip" as there is not enough fluid pick up to make it work as advertised ... :)
