Is it misfiring?
Is it ok once warm?

hi guys soz for late reply, dont have internet at home at the moment ( changing isp )

let me see, during cold start up revs dont climb up above 2500rpm even if i do a full throttle ! but once warmed up the car is fine, however i noticed today during a 160 mile commute, after warming up the car seems not happy to rev (not smooth).

think im in trouble

once again thx guys for your time and advice, appreciated.

Its a hard thing to do diagnosis over the forum,

My advice to you would be to get it in to someone and have it checked out asap

Could be MAF sensor :???: sounds like a fuelling issue, but it could also be something else :???:

Sorry can't be any more help to you babe
