Hi there,

i was driving on Friday no problems, when i went to accelerate to pass a scooter i started to hiccup/surge and it sounded like the motor was gonna choke out and stop. i was able to get home as she ran smooth as long as i didn't go above 2000rpm when it would do the hiccup/surge/choke thing, (limp mode i assume/hope). the engine fault lamp is on, and the temp gauge is sittin on high permanantly, even after being shut off for a while it runs straight back up to high as soon as ignition is turned on and stays there when motor started. ive checked coolant levels, there fine, and the fan is working. so im thinkin/hoping it might be a dodgy thermostat, temp gauge or maybe pump. but im not sure which would set of limp mode and engine fault.

any ideas?
