erm no i wont be clutch!!! clutch slip and the revs would rise but youd accelerate slowly (or not at all depending how bad it is )

Sounds like youve got a sensor fault. could be HEGO, MAF, Throttle position etc etc.

Try disconnecting battery for 15 minutes to clear any codes as sometimes that can resolve it for a one off intermittant fault thats playing fun with the ECU.

If youve got a 99 onwards puma with digital dash then put your dash into diagnostic mode and read the fault codes to find out which sensor is playing up.

Throttle position sensor would be my guess.

On the bottom of the air intake / throttle body to the inlet manifold:
