Hello all,

First of my Berlingo is an 1.6 petrol 
when i brought it  knew it had a slight missfire i replaced the coil and the lambda sensors and that seemed to clear it up
but every once in a while it starts loosing power (feels like ive let off the throttle) and doing 60mph is a real struggle, also
idling is very poor stalls often, but after its sat a while it fires up fine and drives fine for about a week then does it again

any ideas what it might be? 

many thanks
jason
Hello Jason and welcome. First thing I'd do is to get a code reader on it to see what error messages are being written. Could save a lot of trial and error.
thank you for the quick reply 

sorry forgot to put i had it code read after it happened the first time by the RAC as i thought it could have been a serious problem but when the rac turned up the only error that showed up was system too rich although by the time the rac turned up it was behaving again
Basics first, is it due a full service, spark plugs etc.
