I am not familiar with this model but petrol engines usually use a signal from the ignition system for the rev counter and diesels need a special sensor. However the rev counter is almost certainly unsuitable because petrol engines tend to rev much higher than diesels.
By any chance were the timing and balance belts replaced? If the job was not correctly (even dealer staff get it wrong, usually by taking a short cut) and the balance belt is 180 degrees off, the engine will vibrate and shudder at around 2000 rpm. If the juddering was not present before the work, take it back. These things don't happen by magic.
Sounds like you have a fuel issue i recommend replacing the fuel filter it is the first and cheapest option. contact me for assistance with removal and installation for your vehicle.
There are many emission sensors in the car that will make the engine light come ON. Not to mention the big list of trouble codes for the engine light. The engine light code will give you a big clue of what's causing the accelerator pedal problem.
Best way to find out what's going on engine light is to have an auto-parts store hook up a engine code reader and tell you what the code means and the problem. Most auto-part store will do this for free.
my trafic did the same.no power pulling away until the turbo kicked in and it turned out to be the airflow meter.Hope this helps as it cured mine.Plus non of them rev past 3800 revs its normal.
