Mend Vauxhall Vectra 1.8 Power

How can i fix my Vauxhall Vectra 1.8?

No power when pushing down on the accelerator, the car is drivable but you have to be very gentle in moving away as if you press down on accelerator it still does not accelerate but will over rev, whilst slowly building up speed, anyone know the problem?

No power under load indicates a faulty HT system.
I used to work at a Vauxhall dealership and found the plug leads would track through to the head. Pull off the plug connectors and check around the bit which pushes on the spark plug.
If the sparking plugs are in good order and no sign of traking then suspect a dodgy lead (measure resistance - should be 5K to 20 K ohms depending on length) or coil.

sounds like you need a new clutch
