Escort diesel van 1.8?

It is lacking power then shoots off then looses power again. It is some sort of fuel starvation? Maybe fuel primer or injector pipes?? any help is much appreciated
Kind Regards

hi craig,try changing the fuel filter, when the old filter's off blow pipe & fuel back to tank,then re-prime to filter,hope this helps,best of luck
