Default cosworth goes in emergency run

Two months a go i got my engine completly rebuild and revised but now after i've been wearing it in i wanted to over 5000rpm the rpm's falls to zero and bangs really loud but engine is still running on stationary rpm's, to get him back to work i have to clutch and then he goes on!!!
