Thanks for the information. Yes its revs to 4000rpm and then its just stop and powerless. There isnt any slack in the throttle, i have controlled it and its okey. I will order one obd2 tool and download the program. I have also checked the map sensor and its no problem with that. I own the car for 2 months now and this is the only problem with it. The car is in very nice condition if we ignores this problem. It does the same if you drive on a smaller way and its a big uphill on 70km/h it loses power and goes down to 50km/h.
Once you have the tool it will show you throttle position information as a percentage so you will be able to determine if you are getting full throttle which to me it sounds like you are not. It's certainly making me think that Dr Robin could be onto something with it being motor related not gearbox.

Hi they have checked the throttle and we replaced it but the problem is still going on i had it checked by two mechanics and they say they belive its the gearbox. I have now booked a time to checkup by suzuki. I hope that it isnt the gearbox beacause its very expensive here in sweden.
Replacing the throttle without knowing the existing one is actually at fault or simply the cable being out of adjustment suggests that the mechanic is clutching at straws and doesn't really know what is happening, just throwing new parts at the problem and hoping one of them fixes it is an expensive option. Just out of curiosity the car is on standard wheels and tyres and isn't fitted out with heavy equipment like bull bars and winches and overland camping equipment etc is it?

So are you saying it will only rev to 4000 rpm with the vehicle stationary and in N?
If so its likely Dr Robin has mentioned the possible cause, me thinking blocked 1st or second CAT.
Do you know anyway to get a drive in another auto so you can compare?
The Jimnys can feel a little powerless if you come straight from a "normal" car, so just trying to eliminate the possibility that it's normal on your hills etc. It does sound faulty though.
