its a gen two by the way

When was the last time you had the car service. The car might just need a service

yeh its due in for a service next weeek,

before i bought mine, the accelerator would cut out at 3k rpm, then jump back and work... in my case it was that the fuel filter was blocked up... so yer, a service should pick that up if it is the cause

true this, it started to get worse as the fuel got lower.. if i keep the fuel up, would it be any help mean mean while before i get the service done?

just popped down to the servo and filled up, its working fine for the moment =)

It could be just fuel level is low and the fuel pump is just picking up all the guk at the bottom... Thus causing blockage

Sounds like the fuel pump isn't actually pumping fuel, is it the stock pump + fuel tank? I think when the half-empty tank is sloshing around the pump isn't always getting fuel so your accell is going on and off.

strainer could of fell of the fuel pump.

just to add....ECU MAN etc -

my honda civic has a similar problem - the less fuel in the car the crappier the car runs ( less smooth) ? And , the fuel gauge is VERY unreliable- goes up and down all over the place.
Is this due to a fuel pump problem , John ? Or somewhere is there a blockage or ?

to rule out your probs Ben, you need to hook up a fuel pressure guage to your injector rail and monitor the pressure when it plays up.
