1988 Volvo240 w/ fuel injection ... looses power as rpm's move about up... lend a hand !?

The car idle fine, but after a couple seconds contained by each gear (5spd. manual) it looses power and starts to stumble, but if i keep hold of it at a low rpm, it will run. Any ideas ?


Answers:    Could be a clogged catalytic converter. At low revs, the exhaust volume isn't as great, but as your revs budge up so does the exhaust volume, so if the cat is restricted it will take it's toll.

The official way to unclog it is to replace it. However, you can find cat bypass "test" pipes to exterminate it, but again, that's illegal.
you may entail a really good tune up on it,anything that relates to a tune up approaching spark plugs or wires can cause this,psyche check the maintenance annals on it and see when the last time it be tuned up was,it could simply be that.as long as the rpm,s rise on it your ok,but have it checked,that would be the first item i would check would be the ignition system anyway ,which is basically a accurate tune up,once you do this you can rule all of that out if it doesn't fix it,but i come up with it will help it,pious luck with it.
