07 Jimny power loss was created by SHAFT666
as above, suddenly have a loss of power. Running smoothly, seems to have more of a roar from the engine but very sluggish. Any ideas much appreciated

I'm guessing there's no engine management light or codes stored?

Could be a blocked cat if so.

Had a brand new cat only 6 months ago. No engine warning light but that doesn't even light up when I start the jeep so I'm guessing that's been disabled by a previous owner. Local garage plugged it in and no codes stored.

Coils and leads. Similar thing happened to me on an 07 jimny, initially thought it was a fuel problem but got a second hand set of leads/coils from a scrappy and it sorted it.

Had a coil pack blow on me just after I bought it, replaced both coil packs, leads, plugs etc with brand new parts only 6 months ago.
Apart from the sudden lack of power the engine is running great, no misfiring or any other sign of it running rough.

Check that the brake calipers are free to slide, they can bind on which makes the difference in a Jimny.
