You could do with getting it scanned. It's likely a faulty sensor somewhere

Sounds like you have an earthing issue

Fuel filter is behind the fuel tank towards the back of the car. You can see it from underneath

Did you ever find the problem to this? As i have a 1.4 8v seems to be doing the exact same thing first wouldn't go over 3000 rpm the next day it was 2000 rpm and the next 1500 so the car is pretty much undriveable
