Default under powered/ kangarooing / stalling HELP! racing puma

Can someone please help!

my frp is very underpowered before the 3krpm and around 2.4krpm is kangarooing.

It is also not idiling properly it will pulse around 1k then stall and also is struggiling to start sometimes you have to engage the starter for a few seconds.

my guess is the fuel pump but has anyone got any ideas to whats happening ? any help is very greatly appreciated

Does it have a MAF, if so clean it first, and reset ecu by pulling KAM fuse for a minute.

check the lambda sensor plug under the footwell onthe o/s the tend to fill with water so have poor contact on the pins.
otherwise check the throttle position sensor wiring it should have been modified by ford with a new connector and shrink wrap.
it all else fails try the ht leads and plugs as they can fowl the plugs quite easily.
if all else fails pm me there is a few other things it may be but not much point in going into this now!
