I found this when researching Ford Zetec and Duratech. Maybe it might be related to your problem. Intake manifold valve can cause the Check Engine light. If your car doesn't accelerate after 3000 rpm, maybe your problem is in that valve.

Nice ride. Great fun.

Looks good. good price.............. maybe? Only name on the car is Lotus. Like all the Cobra clones say Cobra. At least the ad says replica.

I couldn't find info on Lotus suing over 7 copies. Did Lotus sue over Elan copies? Colin Chapman's son said they shouldn't have stopped production of the Elan, Lotus sold 16,000, Mazda sold over a million copies (the Miata). in the 1960s, Toyota wanted to show that it was a player on the world automotive scene and they introduced the 2000GT Under the 2000GTs skin, though, the car is a near copy of the Elan’s chassis. There is no question that the Elan’s backbone frame, Chapman strut rear suspension, and general layout was copied by the 2000GT. Other than the two extra engine cylinders, the two cars’ chassis look almost identical. the Mazda Miata was an Lotus Elan copy. Tom Matano and the other Mazda designers involved with the first Miata used the Elan as a design brief is common knowledge. someone had the opportunity to ask Matano how it felt to be “the most successful sports car designer ever”. Matano told me that because the Miata was based on the Elan, he was actually prouder of the last RX-7, which was a clean sheet design.

I did quite a bit of research before i bought a replica/clone 7. What I found is Lotus super 7's (made by Lotus) are usually the most expensive, they only made 2500, out of those the series 4 was often the lowest priced because they are not liked as much. Caterham's are the only legal continuation of the Lotus 7, they paid for the rights to the design, but they do not use the name Lotus, they are the second highest priced below usually the real Lotus 7 by Lotus. (I don't know if Lotus sued clone makers, Catarham did sue clone/replica makers). All the rest of the super 7's are replicas/clones, they are usually lower priced then the Lotus or Caterham 7, maybe because they are replicas. It might partly be supply and demand, 2500 Lotus 7's, 14,000? Caterhams, 8000? Duttons, 13,000 Westfields, plus another 150 companies built 7 replicas, who knows how big that number is. In some cases the replicas might do 80% of what the Lotus or Caterham 7 does and maybe in some cases the quality is similar. There is some high quality 7 replicas in Europe like HKT, I don't know how quickly they depreciate, another one is the Donkervoort (a 7 replica) they are a very expensive car around $150,000 to $300,000.

I was curious why there was a problem getting OBD2 data on some of these cats so i did a search (after 1995 most cars are OBD2) and those 2 links plus others came up. For low production cars it said that full OBD2 data doesn't have to be available. I have a 95 GTI with an Audi 1.8 20vt swap with 2 different ecu's that are tuned the one that came with the car was locked by the company that tuned it making it hard to access to change maps, it is stage 2 tune 20 psi boost, it still has full OBD2 info which is great for diagnostics, it is a very complicated engine and a powerful ecu which is great for tuning. the second ecu I had remapped, also stage 2 but 25 lb boost that I got from a company in the U.S. I started investigating software to do the tunes myself, Nefmoto and Tuner Pro (for VW Audi) are two versions of software you can get to change the maps in the ecu, it also requires a special cable to connect a laptop to the OBD2 port to access the ecu, then you can do your own tunes. I got the cable and an extra laptop, that is as far as it went, if I get interested again I might go further. I also thought it might be a good business to get into. Tuning ecu's today is like upgrading hardware (carburetors, exhausts, etc.) in the old days. I did some research, there is software available to access the ecu and change maps to do your own tune for a large number of the different brands of engines available today. it looks like Caterham (probably the aftermarket tuning company) they source from, locks the ecu, so you can't go in and change the maps to get more power or delete things you don't want. If you get a stock ecu for whatever engine you have and can find the tuning software to access the ecu you might be able to do your own tune. Some links that turned up in a search for tuning software for Ford Duratech ecu's. there might be something interesting there. https://www.maxxecu.com/mtune https://automobilesoft.net/tuning-ecu-soft/ https://obdstation.com/best-car-tuning-software-review/

I thought the link content might be helpful, i searched and didn't find similar content, if you don't like it I will delete it.

I did a search to try to get info on Caterham OBD2 diagnostic data, these are 2 of the various links that came up, it did give information on this subject, so i am a bit better informed. This interests me because i have worked with OBD2 generated output on VAG products. https://purplemeanie.co.uk/index.php/2019/08/31/ecu-diagnostics-part-2-ecu-obd-and-can/ https://www.lotus7.club/forum/techtalk/caterham-mbe-ecu-obd-ii-can

Colin Chapman was a pilot and a structual engineer. Tim Dutton was also an engineer, he worked as a consultant to car manufacturers as well as building his own cars. Dutton's cars were over engineered, they were strong. When you look at an early Dutton Phaeton chassis, you do have to be a little impressed at the economy of manufacture to make it quick, easy, and surprisingly strong. when you look at how the steel is cut so the next bit on the length can be used somewhere else with no more work, all open ends are properly capped off with welded plates, so water tight, and there is not a massive amount of welding, so quick and easy to produce. And then you look at one competitor.............Not mentioning the make, there are square chassis tubes that are plugged with the sort of black plastic caps that are usually found in school table legs, and they were visible with the nose cone on! A Dutton was fast, easily repaired and cheap, what more do you want.
