Maybe need to change your plugs, fuel filter and clean the carb out...... assuming that it's not single point injection that is, lol. When was it last serviced?

What age is she?
Maybe the cap and rotor need replacing? Leads maybe breaking down. I could spend your money all day long, lol.

I would suggest checking and cleaning your distributer cap and rotor arm, replace if necessary. Change your fuel and air filters and see how you go from there. Bear in mind that it is only a 1.2 8v and that it wasn't designed for high top speeds.

Then carry out the checks and you should be fine
