Hey everyone, I have a 2001 Ford focus 1.8i Zetec, its a lovely car but if im ploding along at say 50 and put me foot down, it over revvs for say 2-3 secs then goes fine, seems that whatever gear I am in and put me foot down it does this. The bittng point is there from standing starts and the power seems to be there its just this over-revving thats worrying me abit. Has anyone got any ideas what it might be?

 

clutch??
may be slipping when you floor it.

 

As said if the revs rise but not the speed it is clutch related not engine.
