indicates a low fuel supply problem
If it has a carby --blocked main jet, fuel flow through the tap, filter in the tank , hoses, needle and seat. tank vent
If injected, low fuel pressure (pump or pressure regulator), tank vent
That would be my suspicion, too. That or the filter. Check the fuel pressure to be sure. If throttle body injection, pressure should be around 18-20 psi. (Don't know how that translates in Europe.) Multi point injection should have pressure around 40 psi.
Does that engine have a TPS (throttle position sensor)? If so, disconnect it from the engine and connect an ohmmeter to it, to check for jumps or bad spots at any position, from throttle closed to throttle wide open ... of course, with the engine OFF! There is a possibility that you have "slow" fuel injectors (meaning they may be gummed-up, so they react too slow to pulse width changes. But that could be cured by running a can of Seafoam through the tank, as long as the injectors are not damaged or leaking. Check the fuel pressure at the injector rails (if in fact it uses fuel injectors, which I don't actually know). It might have a carburetor, at that age. If so, how is the choke linkage ... perhaps stiff?
I would suggest Installing a New K&N Air Filter and Get 2 Cans of B12 Chemtool and run 1 at a Time througha Full tank of Fuel. The filter will Increase the Air flow by 50% and the B12 will Clean the Entire Fuel System. I use these Both in My 95' Silverado when it does this and always works!
