Default Kickdown prob !

Hi Folks,

Had my Xfire for about 9 months and had been faultless much to the dismay of my mates who said I should have bought a beemer ! I am 23 and most of them thought I would never get insured but it only £900 which I thought was quite good for a V6.

Any how last few days when I kickdown initially it flies as it should but then when I pull in and go to overtake again I have either very little or no power. Normally if I stop and restart the engine it clears itself to go again but not always. If I don't touch the kickdown it will accelerate as it should. Did the throttle reset thingy - depress throttle 5 seconds etc but this did not help much. Now got the engine management light on but can't get the codes read till Monday. It's a standard Xfire can't afford an SRT - yet !
Any help will be greatfully received.

cheers jake.
