Question Need help!!! Urgently!!!

My C-32 has the following items installed:
EVOSports Pulley System with cooling reservoir
Powerchip from Australia, SL-55 Full intake kit.
Recently, the car has developed some serious problems:
The engines surges going uphill at low speed
The engine auto cuts after reaching speed of 70 mph, sometimes 85 mph and will not go any faster than that
I have sent the ECU back to Powerchip, and they cannot find anything wrong with the unit.
I have installed a new throttle actuator but does not help the system.
The car has been put on a diagnostic system, but all things seemed to be fine.
Can anyone help, please???

My car has been fixed, it is just the intercooler water pump problem........thanks !!!!!
But I spent much money to fix it since the dealer did not know what happened on my car......... (new throttle actuator, spark plug,diagnostic system....etc).........
The dealer in Hong Kong is quite horrible. They seem like they can't find out what problem on my car.

Where did you get your car serviced in HK?

Tai Koo Shing or the new Yuen Long workshop?

Simonlam: I am glad to hear you got it fixed.

Do not blame dealer too much for not being able to figure out the problem. DME does not monitor the pump and it fails intermittently, so when you do look at IATs with STAR scanner the pump appears to be wroking.
