Is your car named "Clinton" by any chance?

Borking.. loss of power like not getting enough fuel.. Yes borking is a work that your grand dad would use but it makes sense when your car goes bork... lol

When the car is cold it is like there is not enough fuel or bad spark.. but when you take you foot of the excellartor it runs fine..

I think your answer is the diagnosis......

How old are your plugs/leads?

When was the last time the fuel filter was changed? Run some injector cleaner. New air filter etc and then see how it goes.

I would also recommend cleaning the MAF.

If all that fails to make a difference then you could possibly had a dodgy TPS.
