Can anybody please help, my V8 110 has started to chug drammatically when I apply power, if I find a sweet spot it drives along fine, only when I try to speed up fairly quickly this does this happen. When I buildup speed very slowly, it is fine. I have changed fuel filters etc, any ideas would be greatly received. Many thanks

It ended up being the wire on to the ballist resistor had corroded and only had a couple strands left on the wire. The vehicle is not in a state to drive at the moment but i do know after fixing the wiring it would start so much faster than previous.
it is like the others say though, there are number of items it can be
