Engine starts and revs, but no power when in gear...Help

Post by Almitch1 »

Hi All,

My MR2 all of a sudden looses all power when you try to drive... its starts and revs good in neutral but as soon as you are in gear....NOTHING...

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Do you mean cuts out or just looses the power to move?

Is it a manual ? The clutch is slipping or there is a problem with the transmission ?

What happens to the rpm when you put it in gear and let the clutch out ?
Black is not a colour ! .... Its the absence of colour
