You say its just started acting up? Have you changed anything lately i.e. fuel filter or anything?

fuel filter or lines like zippy says, very possibly MAF as well. does the EM light come on (it might just come on and off so you might not notice...). perhaps even open the fuel filter drain tap, see what comes out...

Yeah, I'd go with the cheap and relatively easy fixes first.

Fuel filter would be my first port of call. My Terrano had the same symptoms when I put vegetable oil in at too high a concentration when cold.

Have you filled up with different fuel recently?
