refusing to run

hi folks, ive just been out in my pulsar and whilst i was in 3rd gear i put my foot to the accelerator to the floor and then at about 4.5 rpm i heard what sounded like a sneeze and then the car lost all drive, when i dipped the clutch the revs just died and the engine then cut out, i managed to get to the side of the rd and opened the bonnet to inspect it to see if there was anything wrong but i didnt see anything obvious so then decided to try start the car back up again, the car started back up 1st time but as soon as u apply any throttle to the accelerator the engine would rev up but then when i let the accelerator off the car wont idle and then it would eventually cut out. when ive managed to keep it running theres a very strong smell of petrol, with also smoke coming out of the turbo area, and sounds like its running on 3 cylinders. i have a gasket leak by the manifold, could this be contributing to this problem?

thanx

I see little sign of editing but I can almost hear the sneeze.... ;-)
That sounds like a large vacuum hose. Your box may have given up and under little load you popped a hose.... VRoooooM
Have you lost all drive... maybe your clutch gave up....Your ECU is now confused?... try a fault code check. May tell you why it's runing so rich!.... 3 cylinders does not sound good... :doh:.. hope not.
The leak at the manifold will give you a drop in power and if you do not get fed up with the rasp... you will fall asleep with the fumes... :shock: Turbo seals gone.....
If it was a horse, you may consider shooting it... :lol:

that's easier to read, if you'd done it the first time things might have been different.
