   Yet in your signiture what does it say lol
   
   If not enough fuel is getting through check the fuel pump is working efficiently... and that the fuel filter isn't blocked/corroded.. the fuel filter is located just in front of your rear back left wheelarch, cable tied under the car... near the side skirt... and are apparently meant to be replaced every few years... and should have been checked at your service...
