sort of takes a deep breath!

Hello, sorry for the mad subject title but it's the only real way to describe the issue I am having with my 99 T corsa!
I aint the easiest of drivers, usually a bit harsh to the ol'girl.
When I drive for a longish time and mainly after work...I come to a junction and the car, well, sort of sighs, I mean the engine loses power and I have to put my foot down to rev it to get it back...it's like it wants to stall....
I have changed my mass air flow filter (after reading about it's issues on this website) but it still happens, and I actually thing it happened before I did this too.
If you don't understand this please post a reply and I'll do my best to get asap.
Thanks in advance.

I can hear it starting to stall/breath out/cut out/?? so I put my foot down on the clutch and rev is, I guess it takes a few seconds for the revs to built, almost like a kangaroo hop but I have my foot on the clutch so no hop!

Just got that fixed on my M reg. However I had the engine management light coming up. It was diagnosed as the temperature sensor. Got it fixed for £80 and EML went out. Sorted.

god,£80 quid for a temp sensor,i had same problem twice,temp sensor on the ecu and that cost me a tenna,inc fitting,and then the temp sensor on the gauge and that cost £20 inc fitting,so i would try the sensors,mine is fine now
