Technical Loss Of Power In Marea! Help!!!

[Jennie]

Hi guys, bought a 2nd hand Marea (2000) a few months ago - she needed 2 fuel injectors replaced, but apart from that she runs really well....however....every now and then it feels like she has a severe case of narcolepsy and won't respond to the accelerator - it takes twice as long to get up to 30 mph (not good at roundabouts and busy junctions!) and the only way to wake her up is a bump start.....
Does anyone have any idea on what medicine she needs and how much it's going to cost???
Cheers
Jennie

depends,whats the service status of the engine?
what i mean i my 1st post of call is easily replaced parts such as air filter,plugs,HT leads etc
a simple thing like a dodgy HT could cause that.
let us know a bit more detail

Plugs & leads were done 3 months ago - not checked the air filter yet though...will have a butchers later.
Thanks Custard!

while you are there do a general checkl of any connections inc sensors.
i'll get this moved to the marea section so you get more specific help.
also post up what engine you have
