The car starts and idles ok if a little bit lumpy and fumey but when you press the throttle it revs to around 2.5k then just will not go any higher and if you keep trying the engine just dies.
It feels like its being starved of fuel but I dont know although the fuel pump could be an option but I got the the feeling it would either work fine or not work at all.
I'll try checking some fuses to see if that shows up anything.
I would confirm timing first. Also make sure all connections are free of corrosion, modules on airbox are clean and have the correct grease on them to work properly. Also check for any vacuum leaks, especially the main air hose, very carefully. A hairline crack can cause this issue.
I have a suspicion that it may be timing related or vacuum leak..
Try those things and get back with us.
BTW, nice name AlfissimoUSA
