My engine keeps dieing, it happens at about 2500rpm to 3500rpm as soon as i start to accelerate, almost as if the ignitions been turned of..i then try to restart it and the cars very hard to start but once it does start the engine revs itself from 1000rpm to 2000rpm for about 10 seconds, when i try to drive of again it won't rev past 3000rpm until i blip the throttle and almost launch the car....then its fine for anything between 10 and 40 miles untill the problem arises again.

Help i really can't work this one out, any advice would be very welcome.

Sounds like the Airflow meter, check the connector on this side of it, also take it off and clean it with some kind of fast evaporating cleaner.

What is the boost gauge reading at idle with the throttle closed?, you may have a vacuum leak.
