hi there, haven't been here recently. So, my omega 2000. x20xev has another problem - It's totally out of power, when I press gas pedal, car shakes(shakes in a way that it seems like it's going out of fuel, but it's not),  it barely gets more revs, even if i floor it.. after 3k rpm it's kind of ok, at least no shaking(or not that much, dunno), but then there's another problem - at 4.5k rpm it's like there was a rev limiter there. Just wont go over those magical 4.5k rpm, tho sometimes it goes over 4.5k, but rarely, very rarely. + bonus problem - ticking sound somewhere in the back, sometimes it seems like it's in front, depends on where I sit. The faster wheels spin, the faster it ticks. Cheers. that's pretty much it. ;)Thanks.

P.S - forgot - the more I press gas pedal, the more the car shakes.

I had something similar once after I had changed the Rocker gaskets.

I re-checked all unions and found I was drawing in air.

It might be a shot in the dark, but you have to start somewhere.

Any engine light on? Sounds to be off a cylinder,could be coilpacks or leads,even check the plugs

Got similar problems with ours, at least 1 plug lead has broken down after being immersed in oil from leaking cam cover gaskets.

I had a similar problem when I owned a 2 Ltr.: one of the high-tension connectors had 'jumped' off the top of the spark plug and hidden under the black plastic cover, it was not immediately obvious that this had occurred.
The car ran very roughly until the connector was clipped back onto the spark plug.

Check your plug wells for oil...

This happened to me a week back and I found oil in plug wells - cam cover gaskets...
