had same problem on an old escort Si 1.8 - turned out to be the Air Flow Meter - i'd go to pull away from a junction or onto a roundabout and the car would have no power at all then all of a sudden kick in...very dangerous especially when your not expecting it.

the air flow meter is the plastic box with wires going to it (check these are also fitted correctly) that is attached to the airbox or air filter,whichever you have fitted.the other end is then attached to pipework which leads to the throttle body on the inlet manifold.make sure it is all attached to each other properly,no gaps or pipes or wires unattached etc.
