We have a Citroen ZX in the family and have a problem with lack of power,it revs fine when stationary but when its under load the power is like an on off switch,I have used a Gunsons fault code reader on it and it shows no faults,I have also earthed it with a jump lead with no effect.Its a 1.6 XUJ, does anyone have any advice they can offer please,thanks Burman

Sounds like an ignition problem to me.
Check the distributor cap/rotor arm/HT leads/Spark plugs..
Also have a general check-around for any disconnected vacuum pipes.

DL,I have looked at the usual obvious things, it doesnt have a distributer,Ihave checked it in the dark with no signs of any wayward sparks, it doesnt splutter or cough but totally loses power when it happens,thanks for your reply,Burman

Has the engine been pressure-washed lately? I once had slightly similar symptoms with a Citroen ZX 1.4i. Ran OK when cold and when idling but cut out when hot and under load. The cause was water trapped under the spark plug covers.
