Try to get the coilpacks checked. I had the same problem on my MY95. It was great off boost but just died if I floored it.

Could be plugs too, worth checking them.

thanks
but how to check the coil pack??

Andrew Timmins

The garage (non main dealer) where I had my car serviced managed to check mine, not sure how the did it though.

i`ve had same symptoms on my 99,turned out to be MAF sensor.

No fault codes on ECU,accelerated ok off boost then if you booted it just hesitated.
New MAF fitted and back to normal no hesitation just smooth acceleration.

Hope this helps.
