1.4 petrol hesitating

[Barry]

Hi All,

As you can see I'm new here, I have owned my 2002 Belingo 1.4 petrol from new, it has about 130,000 miles on the clock and has never missed a beat until recently. About a month ago, I had a problem when the car would start to hesitate whilst driving and not respond to any accelerator pressure, and would only tick over and drive on a very steady accelerator, with the slightest to much pressure on the accelerator making the engine slow down ' but it would always tick over' no lights came on the dash, and if I turned the engine off, it would restart easily, this continued for about 10 miles, then it cleared and the car drove as normal. So I fitted a new fuel filter, thinking that maybe the car was experiencing some fuel starvation, after this the car drove as normal for about 3 weeks, then on Sunday I had exactly the same problem which also lasted for a bout 10 miles again before clearing and again the car is now running fine again.

So I was wondering if anyone here has experience the same type of problem, and if so did you find the fault.
