I don't really lnow much about cars but it might be one of the new sensors are dodgy? Can you test them anyway?
Could be your engine management. I don't have a rev counter on mine but if you rag it down the motor way it sounds like it's gonna cut out. If you rev it just a tiny bit it cuts out. I'm told mine is a prob with the engine management; gonna get it sorted before July before the war runs out.
