Hi thanks for your answer on this i will try the fuel filter first hopefully that works :) and no the engine light do's not come on when this happens.my car is old but it has only done 72,000 km

When was the last time the plug wires were replaced. Sometimes when the are going bad it would cause it to feel like it is about to trip all over itself
