Apologies for the non-technical description but I know little about cars...however I work with computers so have tried to debug my car problem a little.
Occasionally I encounter this problem for a week or so then it goes away. When I am driving along and accelerating the car seems to lose power for a second or two, the car is still running fine, but pressing on the accelerator has no affect. After a second or two the power returns and the accelerator works as normal. I've found that if I pull over and restart the engine the problem goes away for the next journey or two anyway.
I'm going to get a friend who is a mechanic to change the spark plugs as I thought this may seem like the first place to start. Is that a good conclusion or does my problem sound like something very different to the more experienced among you?
Thanks,
Chris

This car not sold where most of us are - US and Canada. Not the totally problem but no info for it specifically. Seems like lack of proper fuel delivery at a glance and need to check for lower fuel pressure but while it happens if not other warnings or code reading help. If it behaves when checked even by a pro with nothing apparent or codes to direct to the issue it will be guessing only.
No problem putting in new plugs but doubt that will fix this,
