Sounds like you may have a engine sensor problem or corrosion in the loom or a dodgy contact somewhere and the ECU is in limp mode if it won't rev above 4000rpm.

Has the problem only occurred immediately after the pump was fitted ?

Was the pump new or secondhand as the pump could be buggered?

As problem only occured after pump fitment this is the most likley cause.
RR might be a good idea.

Thanks Guys.The pump was brand new and the problem started immediatly after fitting it.i'm taking the car to a guy next thursday to check out all the electrics and if there is nothing obvious wrong it must be a faulty pump.
Thanks again
Karl
