Have a 99'T Chim that is feeling a bit sorry for itself....
The issue is power loss, only for a second here and there but its getting worse! We can't drive it up hill any more as the rev requirements are too much for the engine to cope with so it stalls! We now have to leave our house in reverse!!! It is like a hiccup or kangaroo and generally does it on a rev increase but can happen at 5mph or 60mph! It really does jolt the car but otherwise it is running OK - no strange noises. We have replaced the sparks/leads/dissy but makes no difference...... could it be something to do with air or fuel getting to the engine?? HELP ANYONE? Is it common?

Fuel pump? Or a dodgy sensor some place?

Assuming you have good spark, and air, the only thing left is fuel delivery....(no i'm not a mechanic but a friend had similar probs with a BMW...turned out to be a fuel pump after they changed all the sensors...)
