When you put your foot on the accelerator you lose power and engine coughs and skips and even when driving normally it does this but more of an issue under acceleration?

You didn't mention if carby or fuel injected. If carby probably your accelerator pump has an issue such as damaged piston boot or diaphragm and this is not squirting an initial amoubnt of extra fuel when the engine suddenly gulps extra air as you depress the accelerator pedal. If fuel injection it's very hard to offer info on the internet, need to go to someone like a dealer to get it checked with software or the fuel pump pressure checked (could be as simple as a blocked fuel filter).


Why does the engine rev up when you push in the clutch sometimes and your foot is not on the accelerator you think it is the accelerator sticking How do you get this checked?

I think that happens when you are changing gears. If you make the engine goes to 3000 rpm and suddenly release the gas pedal and rapidly press down the clutch pedal. The rev would up. With very noisy sound. Isn't it?
