Hello,
My car is due for its MOT the end of this month, the problem with it is that it struggles to accelerate, if I push the accelerator it'll rev really loud but no go any faster. Also when I start the car it struggles to turn over for around 5 minutes before evening out.
I had it serviced recently and the guy reckons the ECU is faulty (and costs a lot to replace) I however think he's wrong. I'm very short of cash at the moment so dont want to MOT it if it'll fail.
Although if its something fixable then I'll get it looked into.
Any feedback would be appreciated so so much.

start by checking the clutch .. have the vehicle plugged into a diagnostic computer to check for fault codes on the computer ?
