well after 18 months trouble free motoring it was bound to happen ..... uob our 2.3 galaxy has lost it, the other day the wife came to a steep-ish hill and uob played up refused to rev over 2,500 revs. i popped the bonnet later all seems ok quick test drive all seemed good, next day same thing coughed spluttered up too 2.500 revs.

Have you scanned for codes?

The coil packs/leads are prone to failure on the 2.3 causing rough running/low power especially when hot under load.
