Default Engine cuts out on 4x4 Sapphire

Hi guys,
I am just new to the forum and intend to spend lots of time going thro the various threads....

I have a 4x4 Sapphire from new in july 1992 and recently it has started to cut out when i floor the throttle.It runs perfectly at idle or even 80 mph on motorways. If I accelerate "gently" it will go right up the rev range but when I floor it the engine just cuts out as if I have turned off ignition (rev counter stll remains at current rev). After a split second it starts again.If I continue holding down the throttle it stops/starts and jumps violently.

Any help will be most greatly appreciated.
