Was like I was in 5th not 3rd

Nothing on ecu ether been scanned today

Could be cam sensor or crank sensor, but these would throw up a cel at least,

Start with the basics, fuel, spark and air. Make sure there's enough fuel in the car (sounds stupid I know). Check that you have a charge in the battery, and pressure at the fuel rail and work from there really.

Ok I'll have a look Tomorrow.... What best way to test spark etc and is there a way for testing to see if timing is correct??

I'd start with putting the back seats down and turning the key to the acc switch,that way you'll be able to hear the pump prime, (or not )

As for spark there are various diy testing methods on YouTube,
